Still time to apply to this exciting opportunity!

Exciting opportunity to study feral pig genetics, impacts, and perceptions in Scotland! Join us @UHI_IBFC @UHI_CLSustain @UoABioSci for a unique blend of field and lab research. Apply now: tinyurl.com/y6kacd9y @BerndHaenfling @Vicky_Highlands @Lambin_Ecology @Fishissitude

🙋Do you have any research or news that you'd like to share at the International Martes Symposium next September? ⏰The deadline to submit abstracts is approaching! Send them in by 31st December: martesworkinggroup.org/martes-symposi…

@ed_keeble @RSPBScience @UoABioSci @ForestryLS @CairngormsCo @UGrenobleAlpes @Lambin_Ecology @kennykortland is there a reference for this??

@RSPBScience @CWaggershauser @UoABioSci @ForestryLS @CairngormsCo @UGrenobleAlpes @Lambin_Ecology @kennykortland cool- I see the paper refers to Egyptian Vulture but my personal favourite is Hooded Vulture following prides and specialising in grabbing lion shit pretty much before it hits the ground to save having to flog about the skies looking for unpredictable carrion.

@festa_bianchet Despite the issues, I did wonder whether this could be considered an ecosystem service provided by foxes 🤔

9) Time will tell how prevalent this behaviour is in the wild, and how it influences properties of ecological communities. Here’s the original paper, full open access. doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9…

8) We found accounts of reindeer feeding on goose droppings, sika deer feeding on macaque's, seabirds feeding on whale or seal faeces, salamanders feeding on bat guano or plateau pikas feeding on yak dung. Another study found 9 different species feeding at giant otter latrines

The press release of a surprising and neat piece of research done at @UoABioSci with @ForestryLS @CairngormsCo and @UGrenobleAlpes supervised by @Lambin_Ecology and @kennykortland is out today! abdn.ac.uk/news/16180/

#Ecology twitter–I’m looking for paper suggestions! We see an interesting sex by #population size interaction in natal dispersal distances in Scottish chough (see fig). Can anyone recommend other studies that explicitly tested for sex by density effects on #dispersal distances?

@JoshuapTwining @shorelinekelly @MathewsFiona No dormice in my patch, but forest rodents featured in very low occurrence compared to field voles. Most forest prey were small and medium birds. Cannot infer impact from diet, but I would expect most rodents well equiped to cope with predation.

@shorelinekelly @MathewsFiona Q can be posed lots of different ways for different species. In Ireland we haven't observable notable impacts on populations on other species (perhaps we haven't looked hard enough!). @CWaggershauser better informed from a British perspective, thoughts?

Important new research from Ireland on impacts of pine marten recovery on grey and red #squirrels #1/3 #rewildling #conservation @RewildingEurope @Welshsquirrels @Mammal_Society @JoshuapTwining
