Animal cognition and culture shape predator-prey interactions and their effects on ecosystems. New paper out now in Trends in Ecology & Evolution with Erick Lundgren Kaitlyn Gaynor Dr Alex Carthey and Lauren Stanton🦝🧩🐺 Paper here: tinyurl.com/mt2rrjw6

As unmarked density estimates using #cameratraps become more developed, we find new ways to improve our efforts. Estimating the ‘mean time intervals between triggers’ prevents underestimation of wildlife densities. New paper out now in Ecology and Evolution: 👉doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

Beautiful autumn colours at the Bavarian Forest National Park 🌿😍

The 6th EuroWildcat meeting has just started! 🐾

The last paper out in Journal of Applied Ecology of our PhD student Suzanne van Beek Calkoen. She shows that a reduction in deer density only occurs when wolf, lynx and bear co-occur , but humans had a stronger effect than the presence of all large carnivores. doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Hey, our paper is featured! 👇 USU Wildland Resources

New paper with joint first co-authors Stefano Palmero and Adam F. Smith from Universität Freiburg and our group here at Bavarian Forest National Park. Thank you to all of our colleagues from Ukraine, Belarus, and Germany who have been working since 2020 for this paper!

Field work in the Bavarian Forest National Park! With Hannah Pepe

We were delighted to host Barbara and Christof Promberger this morning at Bavarian Forest National Park. Interesting discussions about successes and challenges for monitoring and protecting nature in Europe 🐺🐻 Foundation Conservation Carpathia (FCC) @FZS_Frankfurt

This is the´war plan’ on #wolves of the government of #Switzerland Each wolf pack has a symbol: Red circle = shoot down whole pack Black circle = shoot puppies The wolf is protected in🇨🇭& by the #BerneConvention Will the Convention let this happen? Will🇨🇭stop this madness?

158 organisations from🇨🇭and 36 countries asked Albert Rösti of the Swiss govrmnt to cancel the proposed cull of up to 70% of the country’s #wolf population The cull will be the most extreme ever implemented in Europe in recent times Open Letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1xe…

📢It's a somber day for wolves in Switzerland 🐺 The cull has started, and they have wasted no time: the first wolf has been killed this afternoon in the canton of Valais. swissinfo.ch/fre/premier-lo… #wolves #standforcoexistence #nonlethal #HWC

Congrats to University of Montana @FCFCMontana #wildlifebiologyprogram all but PhD rock star Brenna J Cassidy as well for her role with Colorado Parks and Wildlife as one of their great wolf biologist’s - and also former undergrad from University of Montana Ellen E Brandell ! Awesome team!

The EUCommission proposes to lower the protection of the #wolf Yet it says…“Over 90% of the emails from Belgium Italy Poland Portugal & >half from Sweden Germany Spain support protection” The majority of EU people want coexistence not war with #wildlife wwf.eu/?12569916/Von-…

#PilotProject on the value of #RoadlessAreas for the conservation of #OldGrowthForests has just started! #EU legislation demands their mapping and strict protection. Where are they? We search for this treasure in the wild heart of Greece! Link: shorturl.at/BlI6h Τμήμα Β.E.T.

🐺🐑 Our social research on wolf-livestock interactions is out! Part of my PhD, this study sheds light on the real challenges farmers face. While wolves do impact farmers, economic pressures, policy gaps & poor infrastructure can have a greater impact. 🔗doi.org/10.3390/su1703…
