Ewing D, Purse B, Cobbold C, Schafer S, White S
Parasit Vectors . 2019 Feb; 12(1):74. PMID: 30732629
Background: Many mosquito-borne diseases exhibit substantial seasonality, due to strong links between environmental variables and vector and pathogen life-cycles. Further, a range of density-dependent and density-independent biotic and abiotic processes...

McCulloch R, Cobbold C, Figueiredo L, Jackson A, Morrison L, Mugnier M, et al.
Emerg Top Life Sci . 2018 Oct; 1(6):585-592. PMID: 30271884
Many pathogens evade host immunity by periodically changing the proteins they express on their surface - a phenomenon termed antigenic variation. An extreme form of antigenic variation, based around switching...

Yurk B, Cobbold C
J Biol Dyn . 2017 Dec; 12(1):171-193. PMID: 29228877
An important problem in spatial ecology is to understand how population-scale patterns emerge from individual-level birth, death, and movement processes. These processes, which depend on local landscape characteristics, vary spatially...

Bush A, Sollmann R, Wilting A, Bohmann K, Cole B, Balzter H, et al.
Nat Ecol Evol . 2017 Aug; 1(7):176. PMID: 28812589
Understandably, given the fast pace of biodiversity loss, there is much interest in using Earth observation technology to track biodiversity, ecosystem functions and ecosystem services. However, because most biodiversity is...

Barraquand F, Louca S, Abbott K, Cobbold C, Cordoleani F, DeAngelis D, et al.
Ecol Lett . 2017 Jun; 20(8):1074-1092. PMID: 28633194
Population cycling is a widespread phenomenon, observed across a multitude of taxa in both laboratory and natural conditions. Historically, the theory associated with population cycles was tightly linked to pairwise...

Hughes J, Cobbold C, Haynes K, Dwyer G
Am Nat . 2015 Apr; 185(5):E130-52. PMID: 25905513
Understanding how cycles of forest-defoliating insects are affected by forest destruction is of major importance for forest management. Achieving such an understanding with data alone is difficult, however, because population...

Moran E, Bewick S, Cobbold C
Ecology . 2014 Mar; 94(12):2792-802. PMID: 24597225
It has been shown that plant genotype can strongly affect not only individual herbivore performance, but also community composition and ecosystem function. Few studies, however, have addressed how plant genotype...

Gjini E, Haydon D, Barry J, Cobbold C
J Theor Biol . 2013 Oct; 341:111-22. PMID: 24120993
Genetic diversity in multigene families is shaped by multiple processes, including gene conversion and point mutation. Because multi-gene families are involved in crucial traits of organisms, quantifying the rates of...

Cobbold C, Lutscher F
J Math Biol . 2013 Jan; 68(3):549-79. PMID: 23334354
Reaction-diffusion models for the dynamics of a biological population in a fragmented landscape can incorporate detailed descriptions of movement and behavior, but are difficult to analyze and hard to parameterize....

Gjini E, Haydon D, Barry J, Cobbold C
Proc Biol Sci . 2013 Jan; 280(1753):20122129. PMID: 23282992
Systems that generate antigenic variation enable pathogens to evade host immune responses and are intricately interwoven with major pathogen traits, such as host choice, growth, virulence and transmission. Although much...
