2 weeks ago at the 98th Meeting of the German Society for Mammalian Biology, I presented a study based on using systematic and opportunistic data to monitor the Eurasian lynx population of Croatia.

Grateful to the co-authors Ira Topličanec, Magda Sindičić and Tomislav Gomerčić for this opportunity!

What a great experience the 2025 meeting in Siena was!

We had inspiring talks, shared knowledge, sparked discussions, and strengthend the amazing community of mammalogists.

A big thanks goes out to the coordination team and the Italian Mammal Society- Associazione Teriologica Italiana!
