New press release from Uni Göttingen!
Nice summary about how we used cameras up on the trees to check where red squirrels and dormice live, and if they like each other 🐿️🐀🌳

Red squirrels, dormice and martens were some arboreal #mammals observed with camera traps in our canopy survey.
🐿️🐀📸🌲🌳
The first paper from this survey is already out:(doi.org/10.1007/s103...). Showing that mixed forests promote the coexistence of arboreal small mammals!

This is one of the 2252 monthly monitored beech seedlings in pure beech forests and mixtures w/ Douglas-fir and spruce.
This one survived till the end!
What happened to the others, how they were affected by animals, abiotic factors and forest composition? Check: doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2025.122766

Paper out!
Seed survival, germination and seedling establishment of beech in mixed forests with Douglas-fir and spruce.
Conifers had different effects depending on regeneration stage, e.g Douglas-fir increased beech seedling survival and Norway Spruce decreased it.
