I just booked my flights and so I take this as the opportunity to make it official: In autumn I’ll start my PhD in #conservation #criminology at the University of Maryland with @meredithgore - I can’t be more excited!

Happy to see this paper out! We used ranger-collected data and a model accounting for imperfect detection to assess #leopard killings. Result: Killings were more frequent in in areas with high #livestock and wild #prey densities! Read more:

Hey #teaching community! Does anyone know a free tool that allows to pose estimation questions in an online class and anonymously summarizes student’s estimates (e.g. mean and min/max # of species on earth across all student answers)? Thankful for any hint 🙏

Buried under a mountain of #CameraTrap images? Ever wondered how #MachineLearning might help speed up image classification? In our (@cole_burton @Chris_Beirne) new pre-print, we test an open-source model (#MegaDetector) on a recreation ecology dataset: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Mit gutem Schutz und hinreichend Beute könnten laut den Modellen die Leoparden im Kaukasus in 100 Jahren auf 1000 Tiere ansteigen.
Ohne Schutz vor Verfolgung durch uns Menschen sagt das Modell hingegen das dortige Aussterben der Leoparden voraus! 2/2 twitter.com/BiogeoBerlin/s…

What is more effective to foster large #carnivore populations - reducing persecution or restoring #prey species? Find out in our new paper, led by @benjaminbleyhl, in @ESAApplications on Persian #leopards in the #Caucasus (picture: WWF AZ) esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ea… (a thread: 1/7)
