Proud to announce the first PhD paper for Irene Bouwman: doi.org/10.1111/1365... How does drought time-scale shape elephant space use & habitat selection? Elephants moved less during short term drought. Habitat selection varied across different drought timescles. @ribesresearch.bsky.social

Elephant space use and habitat selection change across drought timescales
Drought threatens wildlife worldwide, but little is known about wildlife behaviour during drought. This study combines 19 years of elephant GPS data with drought conditions at three timescales. Key f...

Elephants avoid humans far more than baboons, waterbucks, or antelopes | Radboud University
Wild animal species respond very differently to human development, and they use ecological corridors in agricultural and urban areas in distinct ways. This emerges from research in Botswana by ecologi...

Endangered greater gliders have made a spectacular recovery after the black summer bushfires in 2019-20. Numbers of the endangered marsupials are 45% higher than before the fires began. Recovery was more rapid than expected, likely facilitated by good rainfall. #ConservationOptimism #EarthOptimism
Greater gliders have made a spectacular recovery after Blue Mountains bushfires. Photo shows a cute Greater Glider snout poking out of a hole. Part of the SCB Oceania "30 days of #ConservationOptimism" initiative.
