Thanks to all the coauthors but particularly @richardyarnell.bsky.social and @antoniouzal.bsky.social who have led this research for many years!

During my BSc at NTU, I participated in these surveys, collecting hedgehog capture history data in 2010 (and maybe 2009 or 2011, who knows it's that long ago! 🧓🏼). So it's pretty cool to go from collecting these data to assisting with the analyses all these years later! 😊

Our results showed that density declined over time & was spatially structured. As badger presence changed during the study, with a new badger sett appearing halfway through the study, we observed a density-weighted shift away from this badger sett, providing evidence for the landscape of fear.

Prof Fat Bear! That's awesome! Congratulations man! 🥳

Well done to Damaris, it was a great defence and excellent research! 🤩🦏
