Dire wolves are not back.
Pups created by gene editing grey wolves are not true dire wolves, say canid conservation experts. Recreating the Ice Age sounds exciting, but it won't save what's still wild. #Conservation#Biodiversity#GeneEditing#direwolf

How do African wild dogs coexist with larger carnivores? By sharing space, but not time, especially near waterholes.
New research led by @ElisaSeres also shows that wild dogs avoid hyaenas mainly reactively, and lions and leopards proactively.

Predator-prey dynamics in Mexico's mountain streams.
New research, coauthored by WildCRU's @ElisaSeres, reveals that a critically endangered salamander is at further risk of population decline due to predation from two snake species.

During Zimbabwe's dry season, animals in Hwange National Park rely on artificial waterholes. @ElisaSeres and @Zimparks hosted a Water Management Policy workshop with key stakeholders to devise a science-based water management plan that benefits wildlife and local communities.
A new paper led by WildCRU’s @ElisaSeres explores dynamics of food resource competition between African #wild#dogs and four competing predators in different seasons across areas with different #waterhole densities in #Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park.

How does a species balance the costs and benefits of living in a group through time allocation?
A new paper published in @SpringerNature, led by WildCRU’s @ElisaSeres explores this question in a study of #Ethiopian#wolves. https://t.co/kaqpn2mCVD 1/3
WildCRU DPhil researcher Elisa Sandoval-Serés is studying interactions between #African wild dogs and other large #carnivores - the ultimate goal being to inform water management strategies for African wild dog #conservation.

Some of the many past and present WildCRU members who attended @ICCB2023 in Kigali last week. Including #Diploma alumni, current & previous #DPhil students, research associates & #research fellows.
It was great reconnecting with old friends and making new ones!
Five great talks by WildCRU DPhil researchers to look out for at #ICCB2023 this week.
Covering #conservation value framing, African wild dog kleptoparasitism, jaguar prey interactions in Mexico, wild meat hunting in Northern Sulawesi & Central Africa.
WildCRU researchers have joined calls for a hotel development in Mexico’s Calakmul Biosphere Reserve to be relocated. Data indicate the proposed site would jeopardise a crucial water source for endangered species including #jaguars, #ocelots & #tapirs.

Una carta enviada desde Reino Unido y dirigida al presidente López Obrador llegó a Palacio Nacional en este mes. El mensaje era claro: que el Proyecto del Tren Maya deseche la construcción de un hotel en la Reserva de la Biósfera de Calakmul, #Campeche.

🐆🐾🍃 Embajadora de MX en UK @josefagbom 🙏🏻, por nuestros queridos jaguares, tapires, monos, tucanes, etc y también por los ejidos y comunidades aledañas a la Reserva de Calakmul
El mal llamado Tren Maya ha llegado a la Reserva de la Biosfera de Calakmul, Patrimonio de la Humanidad declarado por la UNESCO.
Este Hotel Militar es ilegal, y está vulnerando la vida y casi nula agua q hay. Vean este video q fuimos a documentar desde #SelvameDelTren
