Our article describing the method used to estimate wolf🐺 population size in France 🇨🇵 was just published in Biological Conservation. This work relies on the hard work from many volunteers and @ofbiodiversite.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.bi... @oaggimenez.bsky.social

Happy to share this video we made to explain how we estimate population densities of large carnivores in Scandinavia in our research group (AQEG) | NMBU Video available in 🇧🇻, 🇸🇪, 🇬🇧 and 🇨🇵 (youtu.be/d4kmjDdzG5E?...)

What if we could map where individuals died —even if most of the mortality events remain unknown? Here, is our attempt to map mortality in the Scandinavian wolf population.

TOUT VA BIEN! #canicule Il est 10h du matin et il fait 34°C à Perpignan, ressenti de 38°C, et 34°C à Montpellier, ressenti de 39°C. Revenir sur les politiques environnementales est suicidaire. Imaginer lucidement l'adaptation revient a choisir dès ajd ce que l'on va garder & ce qu'on va abandonner.

Well deserved! Congratulations @maeliskervellec.bsky.social

🐺📈 Avec @milleretcyril.bsky.social et Christophe Duchamp, nous venons de mettre à jour les estimations de survie et effectifs de la population de loups en France pour l'hiver 2023/2024, tout est là hal.science/hal-05016361v1 @ofbiodiversite.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social

After a long revision + several rejections, our first article on Pyrenean brown bears is out 🤩🐻 #BioCons ➡️ Non-invasive monitoring data 🧬 ➡️ We mapped age- and sex- structure for the first time! #OPSCR ➡️Adult males lead the expansion front, females and cubs stay at the core 🐻 tinyurl.com/3uzd4d84

Very cool PhD project available in our group!

Wolverines are bouncing back in Scandinavia, 50 years after they were reduced to a relict population in the snowy alpine. The brawny carnivore is moving into boreal forest, which was previously considered suboptimal habitat for wolverines. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
