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 zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
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. www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

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 🧬🐧 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Advancing Seabird Diet Studies Through Buccal Swabbing for DNA Metabarcoding
Determining the diet of wide-ranging, pelagic seabirds is challenging. In this study, we investigated buccal swabbing and DNA metabarcoding to describe the diet of Manx shearwaters (Puffinus puffinus....

See request from colleagues at NINA - can anyone help with benchmark papers for their review?
@beatezein.bsky.social · last yr.💡 We are writing a systematic review article about physical properties of light and attractiveness to seabirds in the Norwegian Arctic and are in need for some benchmark literature to evaluate our systematic search! Can anyone help? Please share 💡
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. www.popsci.com/environment/...
Morning lark or night owl? Prevailing ideas of mammal activity are outdated
Many species can't be easily categorized as nocturnal or diurnal, a new study suggests.

New paper out today led by Amy Gresham exploring fallow deer diet using metabarcoding. Results were very different to what we expected! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Graphical abstract: @linecordes.bsky.social @markuseichhorn.bsky.social @bangoruniversity.bsky.social #deer
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!

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 🧪
