Cringe alert! 🚨 Been dreaming of working at @ZSL for years & today it happened! 🎉 So excited to start my #postdoc on red squirrel conservation in England with @NaturalEngland and @SquirrelAccord 🐿️ Last push to finish the PhD then I’ll be holding the bottle not just a glass 🍾

We recently looked at whether the population of chough in Scotland should be boosted with birds from elsewhere... read the full report below 👇

New paper on livestock guarding dog (LGD) interactions with wildlife in Romania 🐕 🇷🇴 Shepherd interviews and LGD scat analysis showed that LGDs can support human–wildlife coexistence with minimal direct impacts on wildlife if managed appropriately. 🔗doi.org/10.1111/csp2.7…

Excited to be @Mammal_Society conference in #Bangor. Looking forward to @BethRSmith_ talk on our work to develop a recovery strategy for #endangered #redsquirrels in England. @NaturalEngland funded project working with @OfficialZSL & stakeholders. #wildlife #FridayMorning

RTs and shares appreciated! 🙏 Survey closing at the end of March... @RSPBScience @Natures_Voice @Mammal_Society @MammSocStudents @DogsTrust @DTScholars @dog_rates @FamDogProject @WildlifeMag @roguedetection

@BulgarianBears @CanidHowlProj @FaunaFloraInt @arikkershenbaum Not that I'm aware of, unfortunately. The system is open source so that people can develop their own similar devices, and with how things are going in this field, I'm hoping it won't be too long until there are cheap GPS-synchronised recorders on the market :)

@BethRSmith_ @CanidHowlProj @FaunaFloraInt @arikkershenbaum Are these CARACAL units going to be manufactured and made available to purchase anywhere as ready made units? They look fantastic.

🐺 Monitoring golden jackals just got easier! As #jackals expand across Europe, tracking them is crucial. We tested a low-cost acoustic system, successfully detecting and localising howls up to 2.5 km away! #Bioacoustics 🇷🇴 Read our paper for more info: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

📢Publication Alert for all Bioacoustics Enthusiasts! We sat down together to bridge the gap & empower researchers with practical tools for #bioacoustics #soundscape #ecology #ResearchPapers Check it out-doi.org/10.1111/brv.13…

@AdamFSmith Congrats!! 🥳

Mission complete ✅ Submitted my PhD thesis! Now we wait...

Heading to Orkney to help our friends @strandings #CSIOfTheSea investigate one of the largest pilot whale mass strandings ever recorded in the UK. 77 pilot whales died yesterday, CSIP team from all parts of the UK heading there now, long few days ahead... #strandingsteamassemble

@danirosefreund Congratulations Dani!! 🥳 🐺

📢Hiring #postdoc in my lab - Cornell University: #Bat population monitoring using mobile #acoustics data, supporting #NABat program. 🦇🦇Please RT

@SianGreen92 @MammalWeb @thonoir Congrats!! 🥳

I passed my PhD VIVA! Turns out they're not even that bad- thank you to my examiners @thonoir and Jeremy Kendal for a great chat about #mammals, #CitizenScience, #CameraTrapping and @MammalWeb and for the constructive feedback! Now to get revisions sorted and papers submitted!

Our @ForestryComm funded project identifies a small population of #redsquirrels in the west of #Yorkshire. #Conservation work can increase their chances of survival & could help this little group grow & expand. Email SquirrelOfficers@squirrelaccord.uk to get involved. #wildlife

@Mammal_Society us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

It's National #MammalWeek 🎉 I'm excited to be a panel member for this @Mammal_Society event so if you're interested in working on #mammals come along to this free webinar on Wednesday evening to learn all about the world of mammal research and ask us your questions🐾Link below!

Can anyone help identify this sound recording by an @OpenAcoustics AudioMoth in the Murray River in Southeastern Australia? Occurs very sporadically early and late in the day. Appears as a very clean 600Hz sine wave.

The first day of our Annual Conference concludes with a round of rapid-fire talks covering topics such as hedgehog monitoring, genetics, invasive species eradication, and livestock-wildlife interactions—with Emma Cartledge, Susie Phillips, William Amos and Bethany Smith.
