Love the cover of last month's issue of the Journal of Mammalogy!
Pablo Teta and Nicolás Reyes-Amaya studied species boundaries in agoutis. Would have loved seeing two of my study species - the Orange-rumped agouti and the Coiba #agouti - included too.

Cascading effects of ungulates on forest evosystems at the #Veluwe, the Netherlands.
Our newest paper in @EcosystemsJ, fine work led by @JIgnacio_R @WUR.

Love your setup for monitoring pollinator activity. 💚
#ImageAnalysis – at Wageningen, Nederland
Three MSc students of @WUR were doing thesis fieldwork at Barro Colorado Island, Panama.
I am grateful to @IlseSmits4, @jurriaanm and all other personnel of @NLinPanama for helping them return to The Netherlands just before the national lock-down.
Want to be my colleague?
We have TWO vacancies for tenure-track assistant professor at the Wildlife Ecology & Conservation group of Wageningen University, one of the World's highest-ranking universities for environmental sciences.

Tanja @milotict of @LifeWatchINBO presents the Agouti platform for the management, processing and archiving of #cameratrapping images, at #biodiversitynext.
Upon user agreement, data go into GBIF, images into Zenodo.

Today, @jignacior23 Ramirez successfully defended his dissertation on the impact of ungulates on temperate forests, especially those at the #Veluwe.
Congratulations!
How do people affect the behaviour of deer by creating landscapes of fear? And how do such effects translate to the vegetation, ticks and dung beetles? Bjorn Mols @univgroningen presents results from his work at the #Veluwe. – at Wageningen, Nederland
Apex predators are recolonizing Europe. What are the consequences for herbivores, and - indirectly - forests? Dr Dries Kuijper summarizes insights from his work in the #Bialowieza National Park, where #wolf and #lynx roam. – at Wageningen, Nederland
.@jignacior23 Ramirez, who will defend his dissertation @WUR tomorrow, presents an overview of his work on interactions between ungulates and temperate forests.
He compared forests across the #Veluwe that widely ranged in deer density, quantified using #cameratrapping. – at Wageningen, Nederland
What can we learn about the behaviour and abundance of mammals from #cameratraps? Dr @MarcusRowcliffe @ZSLScience presenting at the occasion of the PhD defense of @jignacior23 Ramirez @WUR. – at Wageningen, Nederland
#cameratrapping allows studying daily activity patterns of animals under natural conditions.
But how to deal with variation in day length across seasons or latitudes?

The millions-year-old biogeographical
connection between the Americas is jeopardized, a #cameratrap study across Panama suggests.
Some large mammal species can no longer bridge the ever-larger gaps between the forest reserves.

Had a great symposium and workshop at @niooknaw today, on how to measure the effectiveness of seed dispersal by animals.
Loss of wildlife leads to impoverished tick communities, due to host-parasite #coextinction. That is suggested by our survey of mammals and ticks on 12 different-sized islands in the Gatun Lake of the Panama Canal.

Yet another PhD degree granted at @REGatWUR, the second this week. Shenglai Yin successfully defended his dissertation on pathogen dispersal by migrating geese in Asia just now. Congratulations!
A very useful review on the role of #megafauna in tropical forests. In @EcographyJourna.
