Genetic management plan for captive African wild dogs

Fri, 11 Jul 2014 01:17:00 BST

Since 2008 a genetic management plan for African wild dogs, developed by researchers in our Institute, has been in use across the European zoo network (which houses roughly half the world’s captive African wild dog population) in 53 participating zoos across 16 European countries and Israel.

Assessing the impact of marine renewable energy on seabirds

Fri, 11 Jul 2014 01:20:00 BST

Up to a quarter of Europe’s marine renewable energy potential is in Scottish waters, but harnessing wind, wave and tidal energy must be sensitive to Scotland’s significant seabird populations. Research from our College is used by industry stakeholders to identify and preserve the conservation status of seabird species most susceptible to such developments.

Development of life-saving control strategies to eliminate rabies in Bali

Wed, 02 Jul 2014 10:17:00 BST

Our rabies research team played an integral role in the design and ongoing evaluation of canine vaccination programmes to eliminate a rabies epidemic on the island of Bali. These campaigns controlled the spread of rabies in dogs and reduced the incidence of human deaths by over 90% compared with the incidence before the campaigns started.
