Thrilled to receive the Top Cited Article certificate from Oikos as first author! 🦌 🏔️ 🌲 Grateful to have worked with a superb group of co-authors. Biodiversity is more than just species presence, it's about the trophic interactions that connects them. Article: lnkd.in/dx5m8BQA

Thanks to Klara Leander Oh for leading this work – and glad to be part of this super-team. Key insight: deer effects on forest carbon vary widely across sites, highligthing how urgently we need deeper research on this topic. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

One of my favorites: reindeer not only support tundra vegetation but also promote local trophic interactions in the face of Climate Change. #climatechange #arctic #ecology #nature #conservation nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Reindeer grazing reduces climate‐driven vegetation changes and shifts trophic interactions in the Fennoscandian tundra
Herbivores drive shifts in plant species composition by interacting with vegetation through defoliation, trampling and nutrient addition: urine and faeces. As herbivore effects on vegetation accumula...

To get started & interact with all of you at this cool platform, I’ll start by sharing a recent publication of mine on how landscape of fear can be harnessed to promote human-wildlife coexistence. Chek it out #conservation #ecology #wildlife besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Applied ecology of fear: A meta‐analysis on the potential of facilitating human‐wildlife coexistence through nonlethal tools
Our meta-analysis suggested that acoustic cues hold most potential as a tool to manage deer behaviour. These findings support the development of applied ecology of fear tools that introduce predator ...

New paper out! On estimating mammal density using vertically oriented #cameratraps. Yes we can! This works in forests that have vandalism, fire, or elephants. Or all three, like Bardia National Park, Nepal. #OpenAccess in Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation via doi.org/10.1002/rse2....
