2023 was not only the warmest year on record, but almost every day since July has seen a new global air temperature high for the time of year.
We do not fully understand what happened last year.

New study by Behr et al. finds #AfricanWildDogs that disperse have lower mortality than those not dispersing. Could group living be riskier for some age classes than assumed due to limited resource access? Time to reevaluate costs of dispersal. Read now: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72

Dilşad's first PhD paper is out. It reveals seasonal movements of 8 large mammals in NW Anatolia.

Based on 11 years of camera-trapping study, led by Anıl and Alper, it highlights the need for understanding seasonal habitat-use dynamics for effective conservation. 🐻🐺🦊🦌🐗

Higher mortality is not a universal cost of dispersal: doi.org/10.1086/726220

Our 32-year study of African wild dogs shows that dispersing individuals actually face lower mortality compared to residents. Time to rethink some of the long-held assumptions on cost of dispersal.
