Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal Species Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environ...

First PhD paper by @bjoernfrankly.bsky.social is out now doi.org/10.1111/geb....

Björn quantified habitat selection across 48 terrestrial mammals: selection is shaped by environmental availability at different spatial scales, not species traits.

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...

Research into how animals use ecological corridors reveals that these corridors are not used uniformly across different species 🐘🐒 @marleetucker.bsky.social #wildlifecorridors #botswana #elephantswithoutborders

Great to see this paper out in @royalsociety.org as part of our upcoming Special Feature on 'Wildlife behaviour and movement ecology in a human-dominated world' (co-guest edited with @michaelgbertram.bsky.social and @marleetucker.bsky.social)!

Congrats to @kaitlyngaynor.bsky.social and team!

Well done!

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.

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.
