Our colleague Viktoriia Radchuk has attended #BE20conference in Berlin last week and presented the #estar package to quantify stability across levels of organisation. Great conference, inspiring keynotes and ample time for interactions!👍 @bexplo.bsky.social

Arribas et al found that limited connectivity threatens #lynx populations’ viability in central and western #Europe, but reintroduction projects may aid recovery. 😺🇪🇺 Lynx Link: 🔗https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.70321 #conservation #science

Urban wildlife interactions aren’t straightforward🐿️🏘️ In #Berlin gardens, red squirrels occur more with higher tree cover and in autumn. Plus they tend to avoid cats🐱 but show no clear patterns with foxes, raccoons, or martens🦊🦝***New paper out @wildlifebiology.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/wlb3...

Led by Viktoriia Radchuk, an international collaboration shows phenological shifts in response to changing temperatures allow populations to remain stable or even increase in numbers. Support from #sDiv @idiv-research.bsky.social

In Nature Communications, our paper led by Viktoriia Radchuk shows that phenological change mediates global vertebrate responses to temperature. The study compiles 213 time series of phenotypes and population sizes, including data from Bylot. Read: urls.fr/w7ZKp9 @natcomms.nature.com 🧪🌿🌎🌐🦉🦑🦊🐻‍❄️
A selection of studied species is shown, with each inset giving information for that species on its generation time (T, in years; also depicted by the black bar next to it), its diet (carnivore: C, herbivore: H, and omnivore: O) and whether the species is a migrant (M) or a resident (R). The inset shows the number of studies per taxon and trait category. Illustration credits for the species pictures taken from Wikipedia: Svalbard reindeer—Bjørn Christian Tørrissen, four-striped grass mouse—C.R. Selvakumar, silver gull—JJ Harrison, snow petrel—Samuel Blanc, northern giant petrel—Liam Quinn, green turtle—Brocken Inaglory, green-rumped parrotlet—Jam.mohd, Columbian ground squirrel—Martin Pot, red-winged fairy-wren—John Anderson, grey-headed albatross—John Harrison.

For urban birds, vegetation acts as a natural buffer against urban stress. Even vegetated noisy areas can support high functional diversity, when human access is restricted. #UrbanEcology #Birds #Modelling #FunctionalDiversity New paper out @springernature.com / Urban Ecosystems 🪶🏘️

✨ New preprint! "Too few, too many, or just right?" 🌍🌎🌏 We explore how to evaluate study design in animal tracking studies by assessing sampling duration, interval, and, now, the number of individuals needed for reliable population-level estimates. #movementecology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Graphical abstract for a manuscript titled "Too few, too many, or just right? Optimizing sample sizes for population-level inferences in animal tracking projects". The workflow presented in this manuscript evaluates sampling design by assessing sampling duration, sampling interval, and the number of sampled individuals needed to obtain reliable population-level estimates.

Published 📖 🥳 In a new meta-analysis @mariusgrabow.bsky.social studied whether subtle infection, traditionally often considered as relatively benign, affect phenotypic and demographic traits. Using avian blood parasites, causing #avianmalaria as an example, we performed a systematic review 🧵

🐦 Eine gemeinsame Studie von #TUBerlin, @unipotsdam.bsky.social & Leibniz-IZW zeigt: Mit Blutparasiten infizierte Stare bewegen sich weniger, suchen in schlechteren Gebieten nach Futter & ihre Küken sind im Schnitt 12% leichter. Das kann gravierende Auswirkungen auf nachfolgende Generationen haben.⬇️
