Tourist sightings improve the precision of camera trap‐derived density estimates using spatial capture‐recapture models
In this study, we combine tourist-contributed images with camera trap-based monitoring data to estimate leopard (Panthera pardus) population densities using multi-session spatial capture–recapture mo...

Who said nothing happens in August in the academic world? In just two weeks, four papers from our group have been published (or accepted) 🎉. Supporting PhD candidates throughout their journeys is the most rewarding part of my job as an Associate Professor. Very proud of all their hard work! Thread:

Nature is not a blocker to growth. The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has claimed that 'The balance has gone too far in the direction of always protecting every bat and every newt.' But how can this statement be true when the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world?🌍
A thriving natural world is the foundation of economic growth and vital for health and wellbeing. Language that pits these against each other is unhelpful and deeply concerning.

Hot off the press🚨🚨!! Our study looks at densities and distribution of #hedgehogs & #badgers in England & Wales, exploring how food, habitat, & badger density shape hedgehog distributions. @britishecolsoc.bsky.social @richardyarnell.bsky.social @robdavis1104.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Does Differential Habitat Selection Facilitate Coexistence Between Badgers and Hedgehogs?
Eurasian badgers (Meles meles) are intraguild predators of European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) and are implicated in their population decline via both direct predation and competition for shared....

Something is deeply concerning in the UK if someone can release 4 lynx innjust a few days without fear of being caught. No records of import or breeding? What's going on? www.bbc.com/news/article...

In this paper, we elucidate the mechanism of “winner-loser replacement” that occurs in tropical landscapes when they become fragmented and subjected to other human-caused disturbances and disentangle the effects of landscape structure and local degradation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Winner–loser plant trait replacements in human-modified tropical forests - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Tropical forest landscapes are increasingly being modified by human activities. Here the authors apply a causal inference approach to Neotropical forest data to disentangle the role of landscape-level...

Very exciting novel insights into the lives of Andean bears. Ruthmery PH will be joining NTU in January to work alongside @richardyarnell.bsky.social, Andrew Whitworth and me on her PhD project, focused on the ecology of the Andean #bear. Can't wait to start the journey! shorturl.at/pQCHW
