New research show “Ghost Roads” can lead to #Deforestation

This paper trained volunteers to map 1,370,000 km of illegal roads in the Asia-Pacific area. Occurring in protected zones, impacts of “Ghost Roads” on #habitatloss are explored

There are heaps of unmapped roads across tropical forest biomes. Not having accurate road maps impacts our understanding of the spatial patterns of deforestation and undermines conservation decision-making. Free to read (ask me for pdf if needed)

Fantastic opportunity for a good fieldworker :) Cardiff WildSoc

🌸 Spring has sprung, and with it, a surge in reports of mammal and bird roadkill. Migration and breeding patterns appear to be major factors contributing to this issue. Please keep us informed by sharing your observations! 🦔🐦

Just spent a mentally-exhausting but fantastic week learning 'an introduction to Bayesian statistics' at UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology! A whole new world of statistics to explore🤯 still very much a novice but hoping to use it in future research🤓

Road collisions have become a great threat to Nordquist bison in northern British Columbia. Drawn to roadside grasses, they face alarmingly high mortality rates.

But there’s hope! Habitat restoration and wildlife corridors could guide them away from highways to safer areas🦬❄️

I wrote a blog post about our COVID-19 #lockdowns and #roadkill paper for Journal of Animal Ecology for the Elton Prize shortlist. Link below 😊🦡🚗

Really enjoyed contributing a comment for this article by Doug Main for Scientific American about this fab new paper🐾📹
#phdlife #ecr #anthropause

A huge research effort and fantastic paper using camera traps across the world to investigate how mammal behaviour changed during COVID-19 restrictions - super interesting results! nature.com/articles/s4155…
