This study ◉ solves the confusion over #porcupine diversity in #Bangladesh ◉ examines Malayan porcupines' response to nighttime illumination ◉ updates the range of Asiatic brush-tailed porcupines, a basal species doi.org/10.1016/j.gecc… @DrAbiGazzard @IUCN_SMSG #cameratrap

My first @ConversationUK article with @Jackbamberzool1 and Xavier Lambin: "A surprisingly effective way to save the capercaillie: keep its predators well-fed – new research” theconversation.com/a-surprisingly…

New hope for the iconic capercaillie thanks to new research from @chrissuthy and team at the Centre for Research into Ecology and Environmental Modelling at the University of St Andrews more here👇 ow.ly/RFhs50WgLxg #EverToExcel

🚨 New publication: shorturl.at/QRb76 📝 Out today in the @royalsociety proceedings B. We find that diversionary feeding boosts productivity of cappercaille from 0.82 to 1.90. Indicating that this impact based method can effectively reduce the influence of predation.

We are hiring a chair/professor in our Ecology and Environmental Modelling group at @univofstandrews. Scotland is a lovely place to work, and my colleagues are fantastic! Reach out if you are interested in joining the CREEM family ☺️ vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/I/64…

Some stories leave a mark—this is one of them. Witness my unforgettable first encounter with the elusive snow leopard and learn about India's recent efforts to protect this majestic predator. Beautifully covered by Amita Shah Full story here👇 openthemagazine.com/feature/the-da…

Last call for expressions of interest in a Quantitative Ecology post-doc based mostly in South Africa. If you are interested, drop Lourens and me a line 👇 dropbox.com/scl/fi/jaxqxap…

This study ◉ maps fishing cat presence and negative interaction hotspots using predictive modelling ◉ offers a replicable framework for other Global South carnivores facing similar data deficiency 👇👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.gecc… @arjun_srivathsa @ArjDheer @4012Tania

Looking for your first quantitative ecology post-doc? Then get in touch. I will be co-supervising a post-doc with Lourens Swanepoel (based in SA: @Univenofficial). You will have access to many awesome data sets and the focus will be on applying hierarchical models.

New publication. Our new paper led by LT Nauyoma has just been published today, 12/03/2025, @Wildlife Society Bulletin. Significant team effort and 5+ years by ecologists from Namibia [University of Namibia], Brazil, Portugal and the USA. Full paper wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Super important new research showing widespread anthropogenic filtering of tropical forest mammals even within protected areas: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
