Geographer @ Humboldt-University Berlin. | working on land use and its impact on biodiversity
- Human influence strongly mediated habitat use
- Higher human influence --> bison used forests more and grasslands less during the day and more during the night
- E. bison select for forests and avoid open areas at the landscape scale
- Within home-ranges, selection for forests during summer, for croplands during winter
- Grasslands were never strongly selected
- Within forests, younger and disturbed forests were selected
- across spatial scales (home range vs. landscape)
- in different seasons (winter vs. summer)
- during day vs. night
This helped to reveal a more complex picture of E bison habitat use.

based on "place-based knowledge of 200 African biodiversity experts"
approach can be used "to integrate contextual, place-based knowledge into multiscale" biodiversity assessments

Das entscheidet die Regierung zum Start der 30. Klimakonferenz.
Und dann wundert man sich, dass die Leute wenig Vertrauen in die Politik haben.

Generalist species are expanding, while many specialists lose #habitat, leading to a sharp drop in diversity and growing biotic homogenization.

🐺 Many populations do not meet the effective size required for long-term genetic and demographic sustainability
🐺 Wolf populations across Europe are primarily threatened by overhunting (incl. illegal killing)
🐺 Current monitoring does not allow for a reliable estimation of wolf numbers in Europe
🐺Available demographic data are heterogeneous, approximate, largely qualitative, and unverifiable.

- that are focused on local capacity building,
- that enhance social stability, &
- that are built on internal motivations for conservation
