Camera-traps work best for surveying wildlife when site-level covariates are considered. Owain Barton led our study showing more cameras reduce error, longer deployments help only if occupancy varies, & ignoring key covariates can skews results

Great talk by @philippawright.bsky.social at CWW - fish for thought!
Exciting PhD opportunity at Nord University with @ebnilsen.bsky.social. The PhD will work together with a team of researchers to assess sustainable levels of recreational harvest on willow ptarmigan, black grouse and capercaillie populations.

Very happy to share that our paper presenting a framework for optimal movement decisions in complex landscapes has just been published in TREE @stephharris.bsky.social @jacobnabe.bsky.social tinyurl.com/d45s36y5
Thrilled to say the first chapter of my PhD is out today in @ecol-evol.bsky.social!
We used buccal swabbing & DNA metabarcoding to explore the diet of Fulmars & Manx shearwaters 🧬🐧

See request from colleagues at NINA - can anyone help with benchmark papers for their review?
New research led by @science-action.bsky.social and team exploring the daily activity patterns of animals using camera trap data from across the globe.

New paper out today led by Amy Gresham exploring fallow deer diet using metabarcoding. Results were very different to what we expected!

Very proud of this work and team SHEAR. Thanks to the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) for funding this research over the past three years!
SEATRACK got a new website with better functionality and better access to documents: seatrack.net Click yourself through and learn more about the non-breeding distribution of north-Atlantic seabirds!

Excellent talk by @jacobnabe.bsky.social at the #BES2024 on use of ABM’s for understanding impacts of human developments on marine top predators through the lens of energetics
We would love some feedback on a framework we are developing involving animal movement and energy landscapes - come see our #BES2024 poster (B2.9)
Interested in how marine populations respond to different stressors, and how this can be modelled under novel environmental conditions? That's the topic of my presentation tomorrow at the BES conference in Liverpool #BES2024 🧪
Great start to #BES2024 with a plenary on nature-based solutions!
