Great work by @elhamebrahimi.bsky.social at #ecm9 on creating reports starting from the #cameratrap DP standard. First of many outcomes coming out of #Big_Picture, a @biodiversaplus.bsky.social consortium focused on improving the camera trap pipeline 📷🦊🐺🫎📷
@elhamebrahimi.bsky.social presenting really important and cool work on a new R package to automate reporting of camera trap data at #ecm9 Work that is done as part of our Biodiversa+ project #Big_Picture

Happy to be part of this: a huge collaboration on definining activity patterns across 445 species of mammals. Does the traditional classification hold? Are species flexible enough to adapt their period of activity in response to anthropogenic changes? Read more here 🦝🫎🐆🦓📸

When the wild things are: Defining mammalian diel activity and plasticity
Many species of mammals worldwide are highly plastic in their timing of diel activity, which has unknown fitness consequences.

📣Another paper out📣
This one is a fun collaboration with @emanzo.bsky.social and the Fondazione Ethoikos team. Using #cameratraps, we explored whether European pine marten’s occurrence and activity were associated with the presence of humans and domestic cats on Elba Island. 🏃🚵🐈⬛

Rhinos!
I am looking for good books/papers about the natural history of African rhinos.
Behavior, diet, sociality, breeding, everything you can think of.
Please share this so I get to the people who know :)
