Overview

Jonathan Bennie is affiliated with the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with a substantial concentration on global and planetary change, ecology, ecological modeling, and nature and landscape conservation.

Their work addresses various topics, including the impact of light on environment and health, species distribution and climate change, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, plant and animal studies, animal ecology and behavior studies, wildlife ecology and conservation, and urban green space and health.

Jonathan Bennie has contributed to several recent research papers, including:

  • First Estimation of Global Trends in Nocturnal Power Emissions Reveals Acceleration of Light Pollution (2021) published in Remote Sensing
  • Recent advances in the remote sensing of insects (2021) published in Biological Reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society
  • Pervasiveness of Biological Impacts of Artificial Light at Night (2021) published in Integrative and Comparative Biology
  • Monitoring spring phenology of individual tree crowns using drone-acquired NDVI data (2020) published in Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
  • The problem of scale in predicting biological responses to climate (2020) published in Global Change Biology

Bennie frequently collaborates with several researchers, including Kevin J. Gaston, Alejandro Sánchez de Miguel, Simon Dzurjak, and Emma Rosenfeld.

Their publications have appeared in various venues such as Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Ecology and Evolution, Oecologia, Remote Sensing, and Global Change Biology.
