I'm not so good at regularly posting here, but here is something worth sharing! Using 8 years of camera-trapping data and 60 years of snow-cover data, we show that camouflage mismatch in mountain hares is largest where snow disappeared the fastest. A thread onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Graphical abstract of the manuscript. In the top-left, it shows a map of Norway with lots of black dots representing camera-trap locations. In the top-right, it shows a camera-trap image of a white mountain hare in a snowfree landscape. These represent 8 years of camera-trap data from 2011-2018. In the bottom-left, it shows a scatterplot showing an increase in camouflage mismatch with an increase in the reduction of days with snow cover between two periods (1959-1988 and 1989-2018). In the bottow-right, it shows two maps of Norway, showing the number of days during which mountain hare moult timing was mismatched with the start and end of winter. On the left, the relationship with snow in the period 1959-1966, and on the right the relationship with the period 2011-2018. It shows that the moulting phenology of mountain hares during 2011-2018 was better matched with the snow conditions during the 1960s than the snow conditions during the 2010s, suggesting that mountain hares have adapted to previous snow conditions and are not able to keep up with the speed at which snow conditions are changing today.

Start of the first International Small Mustelid Meeting - where we invited weasel researchers from across Europe to share knowledge and explore potential for collaboration. #smallmustelid #weasel

Looking forward to the challenge of presenting 8 years of #Scandcam in five minutes! It really makes you think about what the main take away of the project is and might result in some teasers for further discussion afterwards. Who else will present at #IWC2025?

We're working on a common standard for Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) data! 📡🎙️ Hopefully this will boost data sharing, FAIR access & large-scale studies. 🧪 Read about our proposed standard & join our May webinar via @wildlabs.bsky.social More: wildlabs.net/discussion/s...

Presenting in the last session on the last day of a conference is always a struggle but happy with the audience I had. #ecm9 Showing #SCANDCAM data on the spatiotemporal overlap between lynx and reindeer. Also representing #Big_Picture announcing more international collaboration studies to come.

I finally made it to bluesky. Looking forward to catching up with old acquaintances and discovering new researchers in the fields of wildlife biology and conservation technology. Image of a northern hawk owl I ran into during a morning jog at the beginning of the week for getting people's attention
