Very happy to see the highlight of our study, written by @SchmitzLab and @janey_lienau Thank you very much! Also, a special thanks to @mrodriguezcabal and @AnimalEcology for your trust in our study! :) @gqromero @srivastavalab besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Functional traits of predators and decomposer prey determine context dependency in trophic control...

Our Research Highlight provides a review of the publication by Piccoli et al. (2024). We provide context for their novel research to make the work accessible to a wide audience. This ground-breaking...

How can conservationists rewild the carbon cycle? 📣🌳🔄 This paper provides considerations to design and monitor such programs, and to weigh social-ecological trade-offs. @mkburak @kristyferraro @kagglerock @diego_ellissoto @nathaliersommer @SchmitzLab doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10609

🌿🐾 New research shows that bringing animals into ecosystems saves species and fights climate change by capturing and storing carbon. But, as we offer in our newest paper with @PaN_BES, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. #rewilding #climatechange doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10609

New paper from this newly minted doctor! It seems everyone is excited about the potential of Rewilding, and we are, too! So, we dove into all the complex contextual dependencies that matter when Rewilding for climate change. (1/3) @PaN_BES doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10609

Context matters when rewilding for climate change

Recently published and open access: Spatiotemporal patterns of lion space use. Some strong patterns, despite ~few physical barriers. A follow-up on lion fence ecology is coming soon! @Femke_Broekhuis @AmyDickman4 @LionLandscapes @ChrisWilmers @SchmitzLab besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Spatiotemporal patterns of lion (Panthera leo) space use in a human–wildlife system

We used path-selection function analysis to determine that lion movement in Laikipia is impacted at a 50-km spatial scale, which is conducive to the broad scale at which land management is often...

My third dissertation chapter is published!! Here we show that deer calving is an important zoogeochem input AND that the context of subsidy deposition matters - turns out ERM-associated shrubs can mute the impact of inputs on cycling!
Journal of Animal Ecology@AnimalEcology5 Sep 2023
Deer calving is a key #zoogeochemical contributor to #forestecosystem #heterogeneity. The subsidy impact is dependent on, and modulated by the plant–fungal community. Animal subsidies should be contextualized in #plantfungal frameworks. @kristyferraro doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.14…
