Autor: Rhys E. Green, Mark A. Taggart, Maider Guiu, Hayley Waller, Sabolc Pap, Rob Sheldon, Deborah J. Pain

Autor: Paul Metcalfe, Chris Heywood, Paulo Anciaes, Rob Sheldon

Publikováno v: Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice. 120:224-238

The current rail fare structure in the UK is widely considered to be complex. It offers flexibility by including many different types of tickets but it can also cause confusion, which may lead some to a negative view towards rail travel and thereby p

Autor: Rob Sheldon, Hui Lu, Peter G. W. Lee, Peter Burge, Alex Phillips, Kate Barber, Chris Heywood

Publikováno v: Transportation Research Procedia. 31:18-34

In the past few years, technological changes have made it possible for bus passengers to learn about the expected arrival time when waiting for buses or even before arrival at the stop. In London, live bus arrival information is provided by Countdown

A role for liming as a conservation intervention? Earthworm abundance is associated with higher soil pH and foraging activity of a threatened shorebird in upland grasslands

Autor: Jeremy D. Wilson, Rob Sheldon, Mark G. O’Brien, David Beaumont, Heather M. McCallum, Kirsty J. Park

Publikováno v: Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment. 223:182-189

The relationship between farmland bird populations and agricultural intensification has been well studied. However, the impact of variation in soil conditions and soil management is an exception, especially in upland (sub-alpine) farming systems. In

The use of predator-exclusion fencing as a management tool improves the breeding success of waders on lowland wet grassland

Autor: Joanne C. Gilbert, Rosalind J. Kennerley, Jennifer Smart, Malcolm Ausden, Rob Sheldon, Graham J. M. Hirons, Lucy R. Malpas

Publikováno v: Journal for Nature Conservation. 21:37-47

Waders breeding on lowland wet grassland have undergone dramatic declines across Europe in recent decades. Few species now achieve the levels of breeding success required for population stability and recovery, with predation from large mammals acting
