Yo igual... es el Jucar, en la Serrania de Cuenca. Es una zona donde el señal es frecuente (de hecho vi otro al lado), pero este no se le veia ni rastro de la señal...
Gracias! 🙌

Check out my bluesky talk for #BOUatEOU.

We found that diversionary feeding is a suitable impact based tool to reduce conflicts between recovering predators (pine marten) and endangered ground nesting birds (cappercaillie) in Scottish Forests.

Esto viene genial para irse de vacaciones con la moral por las nubes.
Las comillas de "jóvenes investigadores" se explica porque en ese grupo de #PID2024 básicamente lo que hay son RyC y PAD. Los "muy jóvenes investigadores" nos quedamos en la puerta

Germán Orizaola @gorizaola.bsky.social · Jul 30

Estos datos son dramáticos. Sólo un 30% de proyectos presentados por "jóvenes investigadores" han sido financiados en la última convocatoria de Proyectos Nacional de Investigación, frente a un 47% total. Y los que lo han sido, tienen de media un 20% menos de financiación. Para hacer pensar...

Jose A. Esteban @jaestebancbm.bsky.social · Jul 29

Y si este era tu primer proyecto (track A), debes saber que este año fue más difícil que el anterior: tasa de éxito del 30%, frente al 37% del PID2023.

Beyond predator control, there are alternatives to increase capercaillie productivity. Here's an example from Scotland.

O como aumentar la productividad del #urogallo sin capturar martas y zorros

Jack Bamber @jackantbam.bsky.social · Jun 25

🚨 New publication 📝

Out today in the royal society proceedings B. We find that diversionary feeding boosts productivity of cappercaille from 0.82 to 1.90. Indicating that this impact based method can effectively reduce the influence of predation.
