Start of the first International Small Mustelid Meeting - where we invited weasel researchers from across Europe to share knowledge and explore potential for collaboration. #smallmustelid #weasel

Looking forward to the challenge of presenting 8 years of #Scandcam in five minutes! It really makes you think about what the main take away of the project is and might result in some teasers for further discussion afterwards. Who else will present at #IWC2025?

Graphical summary of 10 quick tips to get started with Bayesian statistics and how they fit into a larger view of an analytical workflow with Bayesian models.

🚨🎉 New paper "Ten quick tips to get you started with Bayesian statistics", hope you'll like it 😇🤗

We're working on a common standard for Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) data! 📡🎙️ Hopefully this will boost data sharing, FAIR access & large-scale studies. 🧪 Read about our proposed standard & join our May webinar via @wildlabs.bsky.social

We are offering a Masters level course in conservation genetics for the first this autumn in Umeå. Registration is currently open. Please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested.

Presenting in the last session on the last day of a conference is always a struggle but happy with the audience I had. #ecm9 Showing #SCANDCAM data on the spatiotemporal overlap between lynx and reindeer. Also representing #Big_Picture announcing more international collaboration studies to come.

The initial results suggest that European polecat has increased in body mass the most, followed by pine marten and stoat. While several other species have remained relatively stable in mass. Next steps are to try to tease apart what the potential drivers are. #ecm9

Anna Wereszczuk presenting the first results from an enormous effort trying to compile a dataset of bodymass in Mustelids from Europe and North America #ecm9 Please contact us if you have data you would like to contribute!

Excellent free book by the world’s expert on spatially explicit capture-recapture (with lots of examples in R)

First confirmed documentation of a fully vegan large carnivore.

Enjoying April Fools Day at #ecm9 by Laurent Schley.

@elhamebrahimi.bsky.social presenting really important and cool work on a new R package to automate reporting of camera trap data at #ecm9 Work that is done as part of our Biodiversa+ project #Big_Picture

Just checked in for the #ecm9 European Congress of Mammalogy in Patras Greece. Looking forward to five days of mammal talks!

I finally made it to bluesky. Looking forward to catching up with old acquaintances and discovering new researchers in the fields of wildlife biology and conservation technology.
