Overview

Kate E. Jones is affiliated with University College London in the United Kingdom. Their research spans multiple interconnected fields predominantly focusing on Medicine and Environmental Science, with substantial contributions to Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Infectious Diseases, and Ecology. Their work also covers areas such as Ecological Modeling and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics.

Their scholarly output reflects a strong focus on zoonotic diseases, species distribution and climate change, viral infections and vectors, mosquito-borne diseases and control, animal vocal communication and behavior, COVID-19 epidemiological studies, and bat biology and ecology. These topics manifest across a variety of research papers published in notable scientific venues.

Significant recent publications include:

  • "Zoonotic host diversity increases in human-dominated ecosystems" (2020, Nature)
  • "Benefit of woodland and other natural environments for adolescents' cognition and mental health" (2021, Nature Sustainability)
  • "Ecosystem perspectives are needed to manage zoonotic risks in a changing climate" (2020, BMJ)
  • "Post COVID-19: a solution scan of options for preventing future zoonotic epidemics" (2021, Biological Reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society)
  • "Geographical drivers and climate-linked dynamics of Lassa fever in Nigeria" (2021, Nature Communications)

Kate E. Jones collaborates frequently with a group of researchers who have coauthored multiple papers alongside them. Notable coauthors include David W. Redding, Oisin Mac Aodha, Rory Gibb, Santiago Martínez Balvanera, and Gabriel Brostow.

Their work is often found in recognized publication venues with multiple contributions to the following journals and archives:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • arXiv (Cornell University)
  • PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
  • SSRN Electronic Journal
  • Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
