2 weeks ago at the 98th Meeting of the German Society for Mammalian Biology, I presented a study based on using systematic and opportunistic data to monitor the Eurasian lynx population of Croatia.

A big thanks goes out to the coordination team and the Italian Mammal Society- Associazione Teriologica Italiana!
