Join us for another season of Snapshot Europe! #cameratraps #wildlife #snapshoteurope

Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior@mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social · last yr.

Hey Camera Trappers 📸🐺🐗🦌🦅Snapshot Europe is back for 2025! Join us in deploying cameras this Sept-Oct. Help build a crucial snapshot of European biodiversity. Learn more & express interest here ▶️ app.wildlifeinsights.org/initiatives/... Spread the word and help expand our community across Europe🙏

Great work by @elhamebrahimi.bsky.social at #ecm9 on creating reports starting from the #cameratrap DP standard. First of many outcomes coming out of #Big_Picture, a @biodiversaplus.bsky.social consortium focused on improving the camera trap pipeline 📷🦊🐺🫎📷

Tim R Hofmeester 🦡🦦@timhofmeester.bsky.social · last yr.

@elhamebrahimi.bsky.social presenting really important and cool work on a new R package to automate reporting of camera trap data at #ecm9 Work that is done as part of our Biodiversa+ project #Big_Picture

First day of the European Congress of Mammalogy. Many great talks already. Looking forward to many more in the next 5 days. #ecm9

Happy to be part of this: a huge collaboration on definining activity patterns across 445 species of mammals. Does the traditional classification hold? Are species flexible enough to adapt their period of activity in response to anthropogenic changes? Read more here 🦝🫎🐆🦓📸

To all Animovers out there: Our next workshop will take place from the 30th of November until the 13th of December 2025. More information about location, price and how to apply will follow soon....🤗🐒🦥🌎🐸🐊🕷️🪱

Are you interested in species interactions and how we model them? Then this thread is for you! Our new paper in Ecology on the role of abundance in species interactions provides new statistical tools for modelling species interactions. shorturl.at/Sqz9m 🧵(1/13)🧵

Abundance‐mediated species interactions

Species interactions shape biodiversity patterns, community assemblage, and the dynamics of wildlife populations. Ecological theory posits that the strength of interspecific interactions is fundament...

If you are curious to know the details of the AI model implemented within Wildlife Insights, here they are. Congrats to @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social, Tanya Birch and the rest of the team.

New paper! We've just published a manuscript covering technical details of the AI models behind Wildlife Insights, with systematic analysis at scale of cropping vs not cropping in #CameraTrap image classifiers 🫎🦌🦒🦘🪿🫏🐘🐫🦬🦛🐿️ ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1049/...

📣Another paper out📣 This one is a fun collaboration with @emanzo.bsky.social and the Fondazione Ethoikos team. Using #cameratraps, we explored whether European pine marten’s occurrence and activity were associated with the presence of humans and domestic cats on Elba Island. 🏃🚵🐈‍⬛

A great job opportunity at #ForestGEO, the global network of forest dynamics plots, based at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Highly recommended to forest ecologists. #vacancy forestgeo.si.edu/forestgeo-st...

Writing my first #faculty apps (nerve wracking)! Any advice you wish you had the first time you applied? What do you like to see in an applicant's packet? All tips welcome. #AcademicSky #EarlyCareer #ECR #WomenInSTEM #STEM #PostDoc #PhDSky

Rhinos! I am looking for good books/papers about the natural history of African rhinos. Behavior, diet, sociality, breeding, everything you can think of. Please share this so I get to the people who know :) *I took these pics in South Africa in 2017, they are here to get your attention

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

🚨New paper out 🚨 We put together a how-to guide on analyzing diel activity patterns using hierarchical models while accounting for site-to-site variability and sampling effort. Check out the paper: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... and tutorial: hms-activity.netlify.app

A ‘how‐to’ guide for estimating animal diel activity using hierarchical models

We illustrate how hierarchical models can be used to estimate animal diel activity whilst accounting for variability in activity levels and sampling effort. These models also allow researchers to mor...

We have a starter pack for scientists using camera traps! 📸 If you work with camera trap data in any way, either collecting data, running ecological models, training CV/ML models, let me know I’ll add you to this list 🎉 go.bsky.app/CbJkbVw

go.bsky.app/NiaWN5i I'm happy to receive suggestions for this.
