🔬 We scanned 300+ faecal samples and calibrated a NIRS model.
We found big differences between species and over the growing season.
Despite their small size, we found that geese contributed the most nutrients to the ecosystem, thanks to their large numbers & high defecation rates...

🦌🦢🌿How do tundra herbivores shape nutrient cycles?
We developed the first multispecies NIRS-based open-source model to quantify nitrogen, phosphorus & carbon in faeces of tundra herbivores in Iceland (geese, reindeer, sheep).

New paper out! 🦌 We dive into 30 years of research on Iberian wild ungulates. From hunting to disease dynamics, we review their impacts and call for adaptive management to balance conservation and coexistence. Read more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
