Thousands of whales are injured or killed each year by ships.
“Collisions have typically only been studied at a local or regional level,” said Anna Nisi, @SentinelSpecies. “Our study is an attempt to understand the risk of ship strikes on a global level."

Make sure to check out Leigh West's blog post about her latest paper, “Droughts reshape apex predator space use and intraguild overlap” 🐾

[Journal of Animal Ecology @AnimalEcology]

"Discover how drought impacts the behavior of Botswana’s large carnivores, leading them to adapt their space use. Our research offers valuable insights for conservation in a changing climate."
