What if we could map where individuals died —even if most of the mortality events remain unknown? Here, is our attempt to map mortality in the Scandinavian wolf population.

Great talk by @pierredupont31.bsky.social at #IWC2025 about population sex structure of bears in Norway 🐻🇳🇴

New paper on the relationship between forest quality in South-east Asia + mammal occupancy from camera-traps

4/ Our study highlights the urgent need to protect and restore dense, tall-canopy forests for long-term mammal conservation.

3/ Species characteristics helped to understand species responses --> Habitat specialists and large-bodied species showed the strongest positive responses.

2/ 77% of species were more likely to occupy forests with higher canopy cover, height, and less disturbance. Only 5% responded negatively.

1/ 📷 We used data from 61 species, 627 camera-trap sites, and 11 landscapes in SE Asia to study how mammals respond to forest quality

🌳🐘 Forest quality matters 🐘🌳
Mammals in #tropical #forests from Southeast Asia thrive in higher-quality forests—those with dense canopies, tall and old trees. Read our new open-access paper👇

New on European conservation science:

Free-ranging domestic cats occur deep in the forests, with >10% occupancy even 1 km from homes. Their presence near edges suggests persistent risks to biodiversity well beyond suburbs.
