#NewPaper: Working with a huge team of 220 co-authors representing 102 projects in 21 countries, we analyzed data from 5400 #cameratraps to ask how #wildlife behaviours changed during the COVID-19 “anthropause” nature.com/articles/s4155… ..1/

Our study highlights complexity of animal behaviours, and that there are no silver bullets for coexistence. It's clear animals are working hard to adapt to our ever-expanding presence, and we need to do our part to ensure we can keep sharing space with the wildlife we cherish..8/

The Osa Peninsula rainforest in Costa Rica is abundant in plants and animals. It is a global biodiversity hotspot. And, there is nothing like walking in them with THE experts and scientists like Andy Withwoth Andrew Whitworth from Osa Conservation .

Six months of GPS tracking of a rehabilitated #ocelot in Costa Rica reveal how it adapted to a mixed forest-agriculture landscape. 🇨🇷 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neotro… #neotropics

A new study out by our team understanding what happens after an Ocelot is carefully rehabilitated and then released.
