Wow, huge wasp spider(s) in my parents‘ garden 😱🕷🕸

Engaging in the overarching political-economic context helps to better understand #conservation challenges such as #HumanWildlifeConflict. Recommended read: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great tool to model spatially-explicit metapopulation dynamics (among other things)! #RangeShiftR #RangeShifter2.0

Are you working on #ProtectedArea effectiveness? Great conceptual work led by Arash Ghoddousi, taking a #SocioEcological perspective and suggesting an outcome oriented framework to assess effectiveness. Read more ⬇️

If you’re attending @ICCB2021, join our symposium ‘Navigating the social-ecological #effectiveness of #protectedareas’ tomorrow (Monday) at 13:00 (CET) w/ Jacqueline Loos, Johanna Eklund, Jonas Geldmann, @madasascientist & M. Frietsch! Looking forward to seeing many of you there!

If you are attending #ICCB2021, join today's session GS48 Solutions to human-wildlife conflict at 3 PM (CET). I will be in the panel for my talk Reducing persecution is essential for fostering large carnivore recovery (iccb.econference.io/public/fzZ4pKv…). Looking forward seeing you there!

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…

Join us today at 14:00 (CET) for @SESLeuphana discussion round on ‘fostering environmental #justice in area-based #conservation’ organized & moderated by Jacqueline Loos

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 🙏

#2JahreHanau: Der 19. Februar ist seit dem 2020 ein Tag des Trauerns und des Erinnerns an die Opfer des rassistischen Terroranschlages in Hanau. Wir wollen nicht auf den nächsten Anschlag warten – Rassismus bekämpfen, Verfolgte schützen, gestern wie heute! 1/5

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:

I proudly&gratefully present #MyFirstPaper! We Arash Ghoddousi @PegahNegahdar @mahmoodsoofi Amirhossein Benjamin Bleyhl Guillermo Fandos Igor Khorozyan @MatthiasWaltert Tobias Kuemmerle show how to use ranger logbooks to improve patrols in Golestan NP.

Paper out on understanding #poaching pressure using digitized ranger logbook data in Ecological Applications! Read a great thread on the study by Arash Ghoddousi ⬇️or get the full paper here (#OpenAccess): doi.org/10.1002/eap.26…

I'm proud to be part of the Persian leopard team which is indeed extraordinary. My thanks and hello go to all team members, first of all from the Caucasus, my home region. I hope that this Cat News special issue and its resulting Conservation Strategy will make a breakthru.

This was indeed a great collaboration and I am glad for the opportunity to have worked with so many dedicated people! The whole special issue will be a great resource for conservation action on Persian #leopard, which is urgently needed! Read more in Arash Ghoddousi‘s 🧵⬇️
