Weber S, Richardson A, Thompson C, Brown J, Campanella F, Godley B, et al.
PLoS Biol . 2025 Feb; 23(2):e3003016. PMID: 39903785
Seamounts have been likened to "oases" of life in the comparative deserts of the open ocean, often harbouring high densities of threatened and exploited pelagic top predators. However, few such...

Weber S, Richardson A, Brown J, Bolton M, Clark B, Godley B, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2021 Jul; 118(28). PMID: 34260406
Colonially breeding birds and mammals form some of the largest gatherings of apex predators in the natural world and have provided model systems for studying mechanisms of population regulation in...
3.
Weber N, Bearhop S, Dall S, Delahay R, McDonald R, Carter S
Behav Ecol Sociobiol . 2020 Mar; 67(3):471-479. PMID: 32214614
Heterogeneities in behaviours of individuals may underpin important processes in evolutionary biology and ecology, including the spread of disease. Modelling approaches can sometimes fail to predict disease spread, which may...
4.
Rozins C, Silk M, Croft D, Delahay R, Hodgson D, McDonald R, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2019 Jan; 8(23):12044-12055. PMID: 30598798
Population structure is critical to infectious disease transmission. As a result, theoretical and empirical contact network models of infectious disease spread are increasingly providing valuable insights into wildlife epidemiology. Analyzing...

Silk M, Weber N, Steward L, Delahay R, Croft D, Hodgson D, et al.
Ecol Evol . 2017 Nov; 7(21):9006-9015. PMID: 29152194
Social interactions among hosts influence the persistence and spread of infectious pathogens. Daily and seasonal variation in the frequency and type of social interactions will play an important role in...
6.
Silk M, Croft D, Delahay R, Hodgson D, Boots M, Weber N, et al.
Bioscience . 2017 Jun; 67(3):245-257. PMID: 28596616
Contact networks, behavioral interactions, and shared use of space can all have important implications for the spread of disease in animals. Social networks enable the quantification of complex patterns of...

Stevens M, Broderick A, Godley B, Lown A, Troscianko J, Weber N, et al.
Biol Lett . 2015 Aug; 11(8). PMID: 26268993
Camouflage is perhaps the most widespread anti-predator strategy in nature, found in numerous animal groups. A long-standing prediction is that individuals should have camouflage tuned to the visual backgrounds where...

Weber N, Carter S, Dall S, Delahay R, McDonald J, Bearhop S, et al.
Curr Biol . 2013 Oct; 23(20):R915-6. PMID: 24156807
Although disease hosts are classically assumed to interact randomly [1], infection is likely to spread across structured and dynamic contact networks [2]. We used social network analyses to investigate contact...

Drewe J, Weber N, Carter S, Bearhop S, Harrison X, Dall S, et al.
PLoS One . 2012 Jun; 7(6):e39068. PMID: 22745704
Knowledge of the way in which animals interact through social networks can help to address questions surrounding the ecological and evolutionary consequences of social organisation, and to understand and manage...
