📢New paper on predictors of #ExtinctionRisk across scales @science.org #ScienceAdvances Using data from 210 #mammal species🐘 from 64 #TropicalForests🌳, we showed that large-scale patterns can inform #conservation at local scales, but only when temporal scale is taken into account 👇 sl1nk.com/z3qugf5

Are you a PhD-level #wildlife ecologist committed to research and education for #biodiversity and nature restoration? Our group at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social has a #vacancy for an assistant professor! Deadline for applications is February 19. Please spread the word. www.uu.nl/en/organisat...
Restoring nature and reversing biodiversity loss are urgent societal challenges. Utrecht University invites applications for an Assistant Professor in Wildlife Ecology and Nature Restoration. In this role, you contribute to help solve these challenges through research and education by linking fundamental wildlife ecology to biodiversity recovery and nature restoration.

As an Assistant Professor, you will join a young, enthusiastic team that is eager to make an impact. You will help strengthen the team’s mission to connect fundamental wildlife ecology with the challenges of nature restoration in human-dominated multifunctional forest landscapes, especially in north-western Europe. 

Your research will focus on restoration-relevant themes, such as wildlife responses to anthropogenic change, the effectiveness of conservation interventions, and the contribution of wildlife to biodiversity recovery and nature restoration. Close collaboration with colleagues within and beyond Utrecht University is an important part of this role, as well as building sustainable partnerships with conservation practitioners and policymakers. 

You will combine fieldwork, experiments and biomonitoring (e.g. using sensor technologies) with laboratory, statistical and theoretical approaches. There is ample opportunity to initiate research projects and to acquire funding. 

In education, you will teach in the Biology programs, develop and coordinate a new course, and supervise research projects of BSc, MSc and PhD students.

What if we could map where individuals died —even if most of the mortality events remain unknown? Here, is our attempt to map mortality in the Scandinavian wolf population.

🌳🐘 Forest quality matters 🐘🌳 Mammals in #tropical #forests from Southeast Asia thrive in higher-quality forests—those with dense canopies, tall and old trees. Read our new open-access paper👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... With a fantastic team of co-authors! andrevallejovar.bsky.social

New on European conservation science: Free-ranging domestic cats occur deep in the forests, with >10% occupancy even 1 km from homes. Their presence near edges suggests persistent risks to biodiversity well beyond suburbs. Nyheim et al. in Conservation Science and Practice doi.org/10.1111/csp2...
