Video: Nowhere to Hide
A couple of weeks ago, we heard from Dr Craig DeMars about his recent publication on linear features and predator-prey dynamics in the forests of Canada. Craig has been kind enough […]
Nowhere to Hide: Changing landscapes and predator highways
Whilst we often think about human activities negatively altering the landscape, sometimes these changes can have unexpected benefits for predators. Of course, this is not necessarily good news for prey […]
Divergent Migration in Lake Sturgeon
Studying aquatic animals has never been easy. Hidden from view beneath the water surface, they can be hard to find let-alone study in terms of their long-range movements. A recent paper […]
Field Reports: Marie Auger-Methe
For consecutive episodes, we have stories from another female field biologist. I spoke to a marine ecologist Dr. Marie Auger-Methe of the University of British Columbia about polar bears, narwhal […]
Spatial disease models: picking a “useful” model for pressing ecological questions
Since all models are wrong the scientist cannot obtain a “correct” one by excessive elaboration. On the contrary following William of Occam he should seek an economical description of natural […]
Badgers and Disease Ecology
Traditionally one of the UK’s most charismatic (and certainly distinctive) mammals, the badger has received mixed attention in recent times as a result of their involvement in disease transmission. To […]
Social networks and disease transmission – A story of giraffes
World Giraffe Day celebrates the longest-necked animal on the longest day (or night, depending on your hemisphere!) of the year – 21st June. Yet many aspects of giraffe ecology remain […]
Marine Mammal Conservation in the Light of Marine Spatial Use
Earlier this month, the European Cetacean Society (ECS) held their 31st annual conference in Middelfart, Denmark. Established in 1987, ECS has several hundred members from more than 25 European countries […]
Get the BES moving! BES Movement Ecology Special Interest Group Launch
Movement is fundamental to organismal life and constitutes the mechanistic link explaining the patterns observed in many ecological processes. Measures of animal movement, e.g. dispersal, residence time, home range size […]
Salmon smolts find safety in numbers
