Should wolves return to Ireland? So much debate but no science! Our new pre-print is the first time Quantitative research investigates how wolf reintroduction to Ireland might go… @UCD_Wildlife @FZS_Frankfurt @Irishwildlife @RewildingIre @TCDZoology authorea.com/users/338218/a…

🚨 New paper out! We used agent-based models + GPS & GIS to track how land-use change drives wildlife-farm encounters & disease risk. ✅ Dairy farms = high-risk bTB zones ✅ Badger & farm density key drivers ✅ Strong validation with real-world data sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New research by @KilsResearch et al - "Wildlife response to land-use change forces encounters between zoonotic disease hosts and farms in agricultural landscapes" in Agric. Ecosyst. Environ. doi.org/10.1016/j.agee… @UCD_Wildlife @agriculture_ie @tcddublin @daera_ni @ucd_cvera

This week we had the pleasure of having @KilsResearch visit us to discuss our exciting collaboration on modelling predator-prey dynamics in the Bavarian Forest 🐺 🦌 - of course some time out in the field was also included! 🐾 🌲

⭐Best Student Talk⭐ Congratulations to Killian Murphy on winning best student talk! And thanks for the @InjJournal for sponsoring the prize!

Amazing find while surveying the Phoenix park this morning. A significant population of hand sized Poecilotheria regalis Tarantulas living happily in numerous trees and walls around the park! How they arrived and adapted to our climate is the big question... Scarfs, perhaps?

Heres your foreigner to get angry with. A foreign investment fund buying Irish property to rent out for profit. This is it here. Over here. This is what’s making the country unliveable. Here’s the thing to be furious about

@rayofoghlu Most things in West Cork are bai 😉

@KilsResearch I've always thought the premise of Gougane Barra was suspect!!

What do failed conifers show up as on the National Forest Inventory? Or on Coilltes Inventories? They are mostly found on bogs, and are very common.
