Another lynx paper is out!🐈
Protected areas and hunting system significantly affected both survival and reached age of female lynx. These results provide evidence that insufficient enforcement of legal protection poses a threat to lynx populations. 🐾
📜 Read the paper here: doi.org/10.1111/csp2...
New paper on translocation effects on lynx population viability and connectivity!🐈
Lynx translocations positively affected population viability and connectivity, but transboundary management to improve lynx populations in western & central Europe is still needed.🐾

Last week, we had the pleasure of presenting a range of our ongoing lab research at the @forestsat.bsky.social including results for the projects AI Klima (Interreg) and KI Recover. 🌿
It was great to exchange on current developments in the field of forest remote sensing! 🛰️🌳
🐺 Following up from the wolf documentary that was filmed in the Bavarian Forest, there are now also two more related podcasts! 🎧
📻 Wölfe im Nationalpark: Gut für den Wald? 🌲 www.br.de/radio/bayern...
🎤 Guter Wolf, böser Wolf: Der Umgang mit dem "Problem-Tier" www.ardsounds.de/episode/urn:...
New study: Lynx can strongly shape roe deer dynamics - and adaptive, joint harvesting of predators & prey can stabilise populations. Monitoring relative densities is key. Read the paper to see the model & management rules. #wildlife #lynx nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Our friends The Missing Lynx Project are fundrasing!
🐈This funds work towards a British #lynx release license application if plans can be agreed that are acceptable, feasible and practical for stakeholders.
💸Donations currently doubled for 1 week, no extra cost!

Some first results from the wolf project!🐺
Prof. Marco Heurich talks about the Interreg project in the Bavarian Forest and Šumava National Parks researching the ecological effects of the return of wolves on the forest ecosystem. 🐾🦌🌲

We were honoured to present our EUROLYNX work at the Snow Leopard Foundation — thank you for the invite!
#EUROLYNX is an open collaborative network of 54 research groups studying Eurasian lynx across Europe.

New #lynx paper out on age-specific patterns of reproductive success in wild female Eurasian lynx across Europe!🐈
Temporal and latitudinal variations suggest that environmental conditions and lynx age shape reproductive patterns in Eurasian lynx. 🐾

Wie entwickeln sich Tierbestände in deutschen Nationalparks? Ein neues KI-Monitoring liefert Millionen Daten und zeigt, wie Tiere auf Klimawandel und Naturschutz reagieren.
Wölfe gelten als Problemtiere. Dabei wird oft übersehen, dass sie sich hauptsächlich von Wildtieren ernähren. Studien aus den USA zeigen: Sie spielen eine wichtige Rolle im Ökosystem. Auch in Bayern? ...
🐺The Interreg wolf project in the Bavarian Forest & Šumava National Park got some air time on TV! 📽️

Wölfe wurden im 19. Jahrhundert unerbittlich verfolgt. Im Bayerischen Wald ist der letzte Wolf im Jahr 1848 erlegt worden. 170 Jahre später passiert etwas, was sich Wissenschaftler nicht hätten träume...
