A new study published in Royal Society Open Science reveals the significant potential of leveraging existing systematic evidence databases to mitigate hazards in the global food system. The research was led by Dr David Willer and Dr Silviu O Petrovan, who are based in the Department of Zoology and the Conservation Research Institute, with a team from the Institute for Manufacturing, and Centre for Environment Fisheries and Aquaculture Science.
The illustration above, taken from the published paper, shows study designs per country. The colour of each country and the size of their respective pie chart represent the total number of studies on human–wildlife conflict in the country. The colours on the pie charts show the proportion of these studies that fall under each study design category. The sizes of the pies are calibrated against the blue ‘Total Studies’ scale bar.
