Proud to announce the first PhD paper for Irene Bouwman: doi.org/10.1111/1365... How does drought time-scale shape elephant space use & habitat selection? Elephants moved less during short term drought. Habitat selection varied across different drought timescles. @ribesresearch.bsky.social

Elephant space use and habitat selection change across drought timescales

Drought threatens wildlife worldwide, but little is known about wildlife behaviour during drought. This study combines 19 years of elephant GPS data with drought conditions at three timescales. Key f...

What is the relationship between population density and home range? and what are the implications in terms of home range overlap? Our latest paper tackling these questions is finally out! nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @giannijacca.bsky.social @marleetucker.bsky.social

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.

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...

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

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...

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!

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. #ConservationOptimism #EarthOptimism
