Natural soundscapes are associated with mental well-being via capacity-building and capacity-restoring pathways Open
Soundscapes from natural areas are an important cultural ecosystem service that can promote greater mental health and well-being. However, the mediating pathways by which this occurs are not yet fully understood, limiting their integration…

Cooperative agreement between countries of the North Atlantic Ocean reduces marine plastic pollution but with unequal economic benefits Open
Plastic pollution in the world’s oceans threatens ecosystems and biodiversity. The connected nature of the marine environment suggests that coordinated actions by countries sharing an ocean border may provide more effective pollution contr…

Livestock production losses attributable to brucellosis in northern and central Tanzania: Application of an epidemiological-economic modelling framework Open
Livestock brucellosis is an endemic disease in many low-resource settings. Despite its widespread distribution, little is known about the scale of economic impacts caused by the disease. This study aimed to develop an integrated epidemiolo…

Animal health and welfare as a public good: what do the public think? Open
This paper presents a novel perspective on an evolving policy area. The UK’s withdrawal from the EU has led to the creation of a new Agriculture Act and proposals for significant changes to the way farming subsidies are structured in Engla…

Landscape‐level determinants of the performance of an agglomeration bonus in conservation auctions Open
The agglomeration bonus (AB) has been advocated as an incentive mechanism to boost spatially coordinated conservation efforts, where such coordination is thought to be beneficial to achieving biodiversity or other ecological outcomes. Spec…
