Team Conservation Behaviour came together to discuss Conservation Evidence Synthesis in wonderful Prato, Italy. It was an inspiring and amazingly effective meeting. Stay tuned for the output!

It’s been such a joy discussing evidence synthesis in conservation and hanging out with this amazing bunch in Prato (and our remote workshop participants via zoom).

NEW PAPER: We followed 76 grizzly bears in a human-dominated landscape to explore coexistence. What we found surprised us. Tons of mortality, tons of conflict, and yet also tons of bears—3x denser than Banff National Park. How could this be possible? 🧵

Globally, rangers patrol thousands of wildlife areas collecting data on biodiversity & illegal activities. We co-developed (w @Zimparks) a policy brief on how to maximize ranger data for anti-poaching & park management. Pls share & use: https://t.co/P9u6rfZb1G & read on 👇🏽(1/n)

[SCB ConsBehav WG @SCB_ConsBehav]

And we are running! You can still subscribe during the first weeks of the course and catch up :-). We will also be rerunning the course in about half a year.

NEW paper! The role of behavioural traits in #InvasionEcology. Check it out! 👇

[Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) @BBM_Wong]

1/4 🧵Does the invasion process favour extroverts? Our new @NatureComms paper shows how selective filtering of behavioural traits can mediate the success of alien species.

New paper comparing eDNA and camera traps for tracking waterhole visitation

🌊🐆🐘🐃📸🧪🧬📈📉

We took pictures, analyzed DNA in drinking water, built a reference library for vertebrates in the Kruger, and asked how well these tools work (and why!)
