The BirdCast forecast map shows migration is very active tonight along the Mississippi and Atlantic Flyways. How? BirdCast analyzes data from weather radars to separate bird migration from other activity: non-biological (rain, hurricanes, etc.) and other biological (bats, insects).

The first paper of the "Urbis project" focusing on the urban ecosystem of Rome is out in Urban Forestry & Urban Greening! Here we characterize the urban landscape and propose a multiscale framework to better support urban biodiversity research and planning doi.org/10.1016/j.la...

Yeah, we get it—humans stress out wildlife 🐾. But how much? Do they find us insufferable equally? Not quite! Our meta-analysis explores how taxa, species traits, and disturbance type shape terrestrial vertebrates' glucocorticoid responses to human disturbance. Check it out! doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Real nice paper estimating density of rainforest animals w camera traps & comparing w secr & line transects. Great job thinking through all the details of these models. Community density estimates possible w cams but need >25 detections for decent precision link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚨 New release: TetraDENSITY 2.0 database now features 54,300 population density estimates for 3,717 species of tetrapods! 🌍🐸🦎🦉🦧 Now also including marine species 🐋 check it out at doi.org/10.1111/geb....

✨The Call for Abstracts for #ICCB2025 is now open!✨ We’re excited to invite conservationists, scientists, and practitioners from around the world to share their research and insights in Meanjin/Brisbane, Australia in June. Learn more: conbio.org/mini-sites/i... #conservation #MarineLife 🌍

Can AI improve #cameratrap studies? Our study in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social shows how #machinelearning can enhance wildlife surveys by automating species detection & classification and enabling unbiased density estimates 📷🦌. Check it out! ⬇️ besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Great worflow and R package for any one working of ecological trait database !! by Elizabeth Wenk et al. in Ecological Informatics Nov. 2024 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧪🌐🌍

Tough subject and some tough luck, but a far tougher team! Indeed a great collaboration, and I'm genuinely grateful for the unwavering support of @anabenlop.bsky.social, @lsantinieco.bsky.social, and David Costantini throughout every step of this study. Updates on the paper soon!

Wildlife hates noisy neighbors as much as I do! Thrilled to announce my first paper, published online in GECCO! We explore how wildlife adjusts its spatio-temporal niche in the short term, to cope with human presence. Read it here! 👉https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2024.e03053
