a restatement of the Natural Science evidence base on the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals on wildlife
Proceedings of The Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019Co-Authors: Godfray Hcj, Stephens Aea, Paul Jepson, Susan Jobling, Andrew C Johnson, Peter Matthiessen, John P Sumpter, Charles R Tyler, Angela R McleanAbstract:Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are substances that alter the function of the endocrine system and consequently cause adverse effects to humans or wildlife. The release of particular EDCs into the environment has been shown to negatively affect certain wildlife populations and has led to restrictions on the use of some EDCs. Current chemical regulations aim to balance the industrial, agricultural and/or pharmaceutical benefits of using these substances with their demonstrated or potential harm to human health or the environment. A summary is provided of the Natural Science evidence base informing the regulation of chemicals released into the environment that may have endocrine disrupting effects on wildlife. This summary is in a format (a ‘restatement’) intended to be policy-neutral and accessible to informed, but not expert, policy-makers and stakeholders.

a restatement of recent advances in the Natural Science evidence base concerning neonicotinoid insecticides and insect pollinators
Proceedings of The Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015Co-Authors: H C J Godfray, T Blacquiere, Linda M Field, Rosemary S Hails, Simon G Potts, Nigel E Raine, Adam J Vanbergen, Angela R McleanAbstract:A summary is provided of recent advances in the Natural Science evidence base concerning the effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on insect pollinators in a format (a ‘restatement') intended to be accessible to informed but not expert policymakers and stakeholders. Important new studies have been published since our recent review of this field (Godfray et al. 2014 Proc. R. Soc. B 281, 20140558. (doi:10.1098/rspb.2014.0558)) and the subject continues to be an area of very active research and high policy relevance.

a restatement of the Natural Science evidence base concerning neonicotinoid insecticides and insect pollinators
Proceedings of The Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014Co-Authors: Charles H J Godfray, T Blacquiere, Linda M Field, Rosemary S Hails, Gillian Petrokofsky, Simon G Potts, Nigel E Raine, Adam J Vanbergen, Angela R McleanAbstract:There is evidence that in Europe and North America many species of pollinators are in decline, both in abundance and distribution. Although there is a long list of potential causes of this decline, there is concern that neonicotinoid insecticides, in particular through their use as seed treatments are, at least in part, responsible. This paper describes a project that set out to summarize the Natural Science evidence base relevant to neonicotinoid insecticides and insect pollinators in as policy-neutral terms as possible. A series of evidence statements are listed and categorized according to the nature of the underlying information. The evidence summary forms the appendix to this paper and an annotated bibliography is provided in the electronic supplementary material.

a restatement of the Natural Science evidence base relevant to the control of bovine tuberculosis in great britain
Proceedings of The Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013Co-Authors: Charles H J Godfray, Gillian Petrokofsky, Christl A Donnelly, David W Macdonald, Robbie A Mcdonald, James L N Wood, Rosie Woodroffe, Douglas B Young, Angela R McleanAbstract:Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a very important disease of cattle in Great Britain, where it has been increasing in incidence and geographical distribution. In addition to cattle, it infects other species of domestic and wild animals, in particular the European badger (Meles meles). Policy to control bTB is vigorously debated and contentious because of its implications for the livestock industry and because some policy options involve culling badgers, the most important wildlife reservoir. This paper describes a project to provide a succinct summary of the Natural Science evidence base relevant to the control of bTB, couched in terms that are as policy-neutral as possible. Each evidence statement is placed into one of four categories describing the nature of the underlying information. The evidence summary forms the appendix to this paper and an annotated bibliography is provided in the electronic supplementary material.

a restatement of the Natural Science evidence concerning catchment based Natural flood management in the uk
Proceedings of The Royal Society A: Mathematical Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2017Co-Authors: Simon Dadson, Jim W Hall, Anna Murgatroyd, Mike Acreman, Paul D Bates, Keith Beven, Louise Heathwaite, Joseph Holden, Ian P Holman, Stuart N LaneAbstract:Flooding is a very costly Natural hazard in the UK and is expected to increase further under future climate change scenarios. Flood defences are commonly deployed to protect communities and property from flooding, but in recent years flood management policy has looked towards solutions that seek to mitigate flood risk at flood-prone sites through targeted interventions throughout the catchment, sometimes using techniques which involve working with Natural processes. This paper describes a project to provide a succinct summary of the Natural Science evidence base concerning the effectiveness of catchment-based ‘Natural’ flood management in the UK. The evidence summary is designed to be read by an informed but not technically specialist audience. Each evidence statement is placed into one of four categories describing the nature of the underlying information. The evidence summary forms the appendix to this paper and an annotated bibliography is provided in the electronic supplementary material.
