Join us for another season of Snapshot Europe!

#cameratraps #wildlife #snapshoteurope

Great work by @elhamebrahimi.bsky.social at #ecm9 on creating reports starting from the #cameratrap DP standard. First of many outcomes coming out of #Big_Picture, a @biodiversaplus.bsky.social consortium focused on improving the camera trap pipeline 📷🦊🐺🫎📷

First day of the European Congress of Mammalogy. Many great talks already. Looking forward to many more in the next 5 days. #ecm9

Happy to be part of this: a huge collaboration on definining activity patterns across 445 species of mammals. Does the traditional classification hold? Are species flexible enough to adapt their period of activity in response to anthropogenic changes? Read more here 🦝🫎🐆🦓📸

To all Animovers out there: Our next workshop will take place from the 30th of November until the 13th of December 2025. More information about location, price and how to apply will follow soon....🤗🐒🦥🌎🐸🐊🕷️🪱

Are you interested in species interactions and how we model them?

Then this thread is for you!

Our new paper in Ecology on the role of abundance in species interactions provides new statistical tools for modelling species interactions.

If you are curious to know the details of the AI model implemented within Wildlife Insights, here they are. Congrats to @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social, Tanya Birch and the rest of the team.

Overall, this work confirms that wildlife's response to the presence of humans and domestic species might not be universally negative; it might vary, instead, depending on the context.

Although we found no negative association between pine martens and humans/cats, additional studies are needed. Occurrence might be a metric too coarse to reveal a negative effect on abundance, fitness, etc. and these findings might be limited to particular conditions occurring in Elba.

Opposite activity patterns (mostly diurnal for humans, mostly nocturnal for pine martens) might facilitate the co-existence between humans and pine martens. Temporal segregation might not be the mechanism that allows the co-existence of pine martens and cats as they have similar activity patterns.

We found that pine marten had high probability of occurring (>0.63) across all vegetation types and elevations sampled. Surprisingly, we found no association between the occurrence of pine martens and the other two species, despite the pervasive presence of both humans and cats throughout the area.

On Elba, pine martens are the only wild carnivore present and domestic cats could act as their main competitors. Also, due to tourism, the number of people in the island increases drastically during the summer. Thus, Elba is a great place to explore pine martens’ response to humans and cats.

📣Another paper out📣

This one is a fun collaboration with @emanzo.bsky.social and the Fondazione Ethoikos team. Using #cameratraps, we explored whether European pine marten’s occurrence and activity were associated with the presence of humans and domestic cats on Elba Island. 🏃🚵🐈‍⬛

A great job opportunity at #ForestGEO, the global network of forest dynamics plots, based at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Highly recommended to forest ecologists. #vacancy

Thank you

Writing my first #faculty apps (nerve wracking)! Any advice you wish you had the first time you applied? What do you like to see in an applicant's packet? All tips welcome. #AcademicSky #EarlyCareer #ECR #WomenInSTEM #STEM #PostDoc #PhDSky

Rhinos!

I am looking for good books/papers about the natural history of African rhinos.
Behavior, diet, sociality, breeding, everything you can think of.

Please share this so I get to the people who know :)

*I took these pics in South Africa in 2017, they are here to get your attention

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?

We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary

Oh, I see. Very interesting idea. It is definitely worth doing some tests with simulated data. We have code for creating those :)
