Zara Environmental has been working with Natural Bridge Caverns, Inc. for the past few years to learn more about the biology in the Caverns. The biologists with Zara have been conducting terrestrial and aquatic biological surveys throughout the cave system, both in the commercial areas and deeper into newly explored passages. These surveys allow the biologists to know what lives in the cave and understand the distribution of karst invertebrates throughout the cave system. They can also make comparisons of what invertebrates are found within areas of greater disturbance vs less and areas with greater nutrient inputs vs less, on a broad scale. https://lnkd.in/gEKbxC8E

On our outdoor expeditions, sighting bears - or traces of them - is sometimes part of the backcountry journey. Thanks to our knowledgeable and experienced instructors, these moments become valuable learning experiences for our participants. In British Columbia, traditional Indigenous conservation practices are shedding light on how humans and bears can peacefully coexist. A recent study by Ecology & Society, in collaboration with First Nation groups, highlights the "kincentric" perspective of coastal First Nations, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all elements within an ecosystem and demonstrating how people and bears can share the same territory. As one elder expressed, "Bears have taught us much about living here—what we can eat and where we can stay. Our needs are very similar."

We did Cercopithecinae then we did Colobinae. https://lnkd.in/dhRcGBrM As I am attending my first European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) Conference, it is my pleasure to annouce my new research paper I co-authored with spartaco gippoliti is finally out on Primate Conservation, the official journal of the Primate Specislis Group of the IUCN. We used ZIMS data from Species360 to analyses colobines collections in zoos and discussed the role of zoos in the conservation in light of the One Plan Approach to Conservation. The paper is freely available at the above link from Primate Conservation.

Because besides work there is also hobby :-) Nice to work together with these researchers on one of the most fascinating species group: the genus Salamandra (fire and alpine salamanders). The study illustrates the impact of hybridization in phylogenetic analyses and its downstream effects in the identification of conservation units and their naming in the Linnean classification. But it shows much more hidden treasures :-) https://lnkd.in/enPT8Rxj

💡 READ: New research, supported by data Global Fishing Watch provided on the positions of large shipping vessels, identifies priority sites for whale shark ship-collision management. 👥 The study was carried out by researchers from The Marine Biological Association, the University of Southampton, the Marine Research and Conservation Foundation and the Marine Megafauna Foundation. It underlines how heavily used shipping lanes pass through crucial whale shark feeding grounds, posing a threat to the endangered species. 🌐 Unpack full details on the study published in Science of the Total Environment: bit.ly/4arPOHJ

Appreciate your excellent observations, Erick! As an ecologist my specialized in the Perissodactyls, I have long realized what great natural gardeners they are when allowed to fill their natural niches. So many of these species today, however, are being cruelly and ignorantly eliminated and their habitats thoughtlessly overrun by humans to the detriment of the entire life community. Please check out my recent article at https://lnkd.in/gqRNd4YD
We had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Erick Lundgren, an independent ecologist based out of Aarhus University, to talk about his recent research. Dr. Lundgren is one of the top experts in the world on wild horse and burro ecology, with two peer-reviewed papers published in the highly prestigious journal Science. Here, he talks about the findings of his new study, which was published in Science just last month. His insights into the role of wild horses and burros on desert ecosystems are not just important for equids, but crucial for understanding and preserving the natural ecosystems they're a part of.
