What happens when you bring together image processing experts, social scientists, geospatial wizards, and behavioral ecologists and ask them to find solutions for human-wolves conflict at desert campsites?
This paper to start with: bit.ly/42Xj4oL and hopefully mitigation tools will follow soon.

Thank you! I couldn't have asked for a better host and a better location. Already counting the days for my next visit!
It has been such a joy hosting @odedberger-tal.bsky.social for the past year in our lab here at @monashbiol.bsky.social. Will miss the science discussions, chats about global politics and, of course, eating together.🙏

We tend to think that we understand how urbanization impacts biodiversity, but our knowledge is based almost solely on research from temperate systems. This creates strong biases. Wonderful new work by @elliediamant.bsky.social in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Our publication is out! We tracked 8 groups of social birds (#babblers) in the #desert, summer to winter. Did their use of man-made habitat shifted with season? It did!. #science #ecology @odedkeynan.bsky.social @uriroll.bsky.social @odedberger-tal.bsky.social
