Evidence complacency hampers conservation.
The pernicious problem of evidence complacency, illustrated here through conservation policy and practice, results in poor practice and inefficiencies. It also increases our vulnerability to a ‘post-truth’ world dealing with...
A fresh approach to evidence synthesis.
For most conservation interventions, insufficient evidence exists for investigators to be able to conduct a meta-analysis for each species or genus. However, by being apprised of studies that examine how a particular...

BACKGROUND: The case fatality ratio (CFR) of Ebola virus disease (EVD) can vary over time and space for reasons that are not fully understood. This makes it difficult to define the baseline CFRs needed to evaluate treatments in...
Heard but not seen
We used capture (mist-netting) and acoustic methods to compare the species richness, abundance, and composition of a bat assemblage in different habitats in the Western Ghats of India. In the tropics, catching bats has been more...

Jan 04, 2023
BACKGROUND: Scrub typhus has become a leading cause of central nervous system (CNS) infection in endemic regions. As a treatable condition, prompt recognition is vital. However, few studies have focused on describing the...
