Effects of social networks on interventions to change conservation behaviour
We investigated how network processes such as information flows and social influence influenced behavior change in the context of a social marketing campaign to promote a wildlife poisoning hotline in Cambodia.
Combining simulation and empirical data to explore the scope for social network interventions in conservation
Using empirical data from a case study in Cambodia and simulations we examine the conditions under which using sociometric data can lead to greater dissemination of information and adoption of new conservation behaviours.
Consequences of survey method for estimating hunters’ harvest rates
We compare hunter recall interviews with continuous village monitoring, finding that methodological biases can have large effects on estimates of hunter catch.
Using mixed methods to understand sensitive wildlife poisoning behaviours in northern Cambodia
Using the theory of planned behaviour, informant interviews and focus group discussions, we investigated drivers of wildlife poisoning across ten communities in northern Cambodia.
Estimating hunting prevalence and reliance on wild meat in Cambodia’s Eastern Plains
We assessed hunter behaviour, knowledge of rules, and perceptions of patrols amongst 705 households living within Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary, Cambodia
The bean method as a tool to measure sensitive behaviour
Based on a simple voting system, the bean method is a practical, low‐cost way to obtain anonymous answers about sensitive topics.
Experimentally assessing the effect of search effort on snare detectability
Using an experimental approach, we investigated the effect of search effort, habitat, season, and team on rangers' detection of snares in a tropical forest landscape. Our results suggest that snare detectability in tropical forest landscapes is likely to be low, and may not improve dramatically with increased search effort.

Integrating models of human behaviour between the individual and population levels to inform conservation interventions
Conservation interventions developed with little understanding of social system dynamics can result in simplistic and misguided approaches. More effective conservation, that seeks to influence the social drivers of ecological change, requires a more nuanced and predictive understanding of these drivers. In this paper we explore how ABMs and SNAs, separately and in tandem, could be useful for understanding the dynamics of structured information flow and examine the potential benefits of promoting a cross-over between the ecological and social sciences in conservation.
Incentives and social relationships of hunters and traders in a Liberian bushmeat system
Effective management of local bushmeat systems requires understanding of their social and economic dynamics, yet social elements such as relationships between actors are often overlooked. We provide the first detailed description of a rural hunting system in Liberia.
