Fauna sentinela: como o seguimento por GPS de espécies necrófagas fornece informação sobre o cumprimento dos regulamentos de gestão de cadáveres

Patrícia Mateo Tomás fala-nos do novo estudo que visa avaliar como o rastreio remoto da vida selvagem pode contribuir para uma melhor monitorização das leis ambientais. Através do rastreamento experimental de lobos e abutres via GPS, os pesquisadores conseguiram localizar um total de 489 carcaças de gado em Espanha e Portugal.

Sentinel wildlife: GPS-tracking of scavengers to inform compliance with regulations on carcass disposal

Patricia Mateo Tomás talks us through her and colleagues’ new study which aims to assess how remotely tracking wildlife can contribute to the better monitoring of environmental laws. Through experimentally tracking wolves and vultures via GPS, researchers were able to locate a total of 489 livestock carcasses across Spain and Portugal. Continue reading Sentinel wildlife: GPS-tracking of scavengers to inform compliance with regulations on carcass disposal

Infographic: factors affecting carcass detection at wind farms using dogs and human searchers

New research from Jon Domínguez del Valle and colleagues demonstrates that dogs outperform humans when it comes to finding bird and bat carcasses in a wide range of situations. This is particularly evident when searching for small species in dense vegetation. This infographic summarises their work into detection at wind farms. ‘Our results provide evidence that dogs perform with high success rates at detecting bird … Continue reading Infographic: factors affecting carcass detection at wind farms using dogs and human searchers
