A strong delegation of researchers from SCB Italy is attending #ECCB2026, with contributions spanning a wide range of topics! Today we got together to discuss our upcoming events and initiatives. Stay tuned!🔔 #scb #scbitaly #conservationbiology

#ECCB2026 in Leiden, proud of our @globalmammal.bsky.social PhD students!👏 🎤 Vincenzo Paturzo presents "How dispersal assumptions shape climate change projections"; Martina Fernando and Sara Brunori present their posters. Congratulations to our outstanding young researchers!🌿 @rondinini.bsky.social

The halfway mark of ECCB ‘26 was opened by Marja Spierenburg, Leiden University (the Netherlands), and Research Fellow at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, who discussed the need for social scientists within conservation efforts: Day-to-day recap: eccb26leiden.eu/day-3-%e2%86...

The Macroecology and Biodiversity Conservation (MBC) research group from Sapienza University is at #ECCB2026 in Leiden! 🌍 Excited to share our science, connect with colleagues, and promote conservation biology together. #GMALab #BGCLab #ECASLab 🦎🌱 #ConservationBiology #Biodiversity #TeamScience

Marco Davoli is a postdoc researcher & biogeographer, currently based at La Sapienza University of Rome. Primary research interest: how paleoecological insights can guide restoration ecology in novel ecosystems, human–carnivore conflicts and the conservation of traditional cultural landscapes.

Enjoyed Marco Davoli's talk at #ECCB2026 on rewilding megaherbivores and their contribution to conserving wood-pastures. An excellent overview of both the opportunities and challenges of restoring ecosystem functions in human-dominated landscapes. 🌍 #Biodiversity #ConservationScience

How vulnerable are terrestrial mammals hunted for human consumption? An inspiring presentation by Michela Pacifici @scbitaly.bsky.social at #ECCB2026 explored this critical question, offering valuable perspectives for conservation planning and biodiversity protection🌍🐘 #ConservationBiology #Wildlife
