Stable pollination service in a generalist High Arctic community despite the warming climate (2022)
Journal Article
Cirtwill, A., Kaartinen, R., Rasmussen, C., Redr, D., Wirta, H., Olesen, J., Tiusanen, M., Ballantyne, G., Cunnold, H., Stone, G., Martin Schmidt, N., & Roslin, T. (2023). Stable pollination service in a generalist High Arctic community despite the warming climate. Ecological monographs, 93(1), Article e1551. https://doi.org/10.1002/ecm.1551

Insects provide key pollination services in most terrestrial biomes, but this service depends on a multi-step interaction between insect and plant. An insect needs to visit a flower, receive pollen from the anthers, move to another conspecific flower...

Insect Pollination and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa (2020)
Journal Article
Tolera, K., & Ballantyne, G. (2021). Insect Pollination and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa. Journal of Pollination Ecology, 27(2), 36-46

We are currently seeing an expansion of pollinator-dependent crops in many parts of the world, but also growing evidence for pollinator population declines and loss of pollinator habitat. Climate change and population growth will place additional dem... Read More about Insect Pollination and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Scottish One Health Antimicrobial Use and Antimicrobial Resistance in 2018 (2019)
Report
Scottish One Health Antimicrobial Use and Antimicrobial Resistance in 2018. Health Protection Scotland (HPS)

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains a major public health issue. AMR occurs when microorganisms, such as bacteria, adapt to survive exposure to a treatment that would normally kill them. Inappropriate and unnecessary antibiotic use speeds up the d... Read More about Scottish One Health Antimicrobial Use and Antimicrobial Resistance in 2018.
