11 jours – 239 km – 3 cantons : un loup a fait un périple passionnant. Lors de sa présupposée recherche d’une femelle, il a traversé 3 cantons avant de revenir dans la zone où il se trouvait fin ’25. Il est possible qu’il soit passé par les corridors à faune des cantons de BE et FR. #wolvesandcattle

Annotating opportunistic camera-trap images with conditions of recording, for the disease surveillance of Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) The French population of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) is small and fragmented. Any emerging disease would endanger it even further, so disease survei…

Top‐predator carrion is scary: Fight‐and‐flight responses of wild boars to wolf carcasses Predation risk largely constrains prey behavior. However, whether predators may be scary also after death remains unexplored. Here, we describe the ‘fight-and-flight’ responses of a prey, the wild bo...

What a wonderful gift for New Year’s Day: a #lynx walked in front of my camera, which I had set up to film the starry sky. I still can't believe it. I made a short video out of it 😻. The full video will follow in the next post 😉#insta360pro2 #starryskyvideo

Nice portrait of a stone marten passing through our garden, or rather forest 😃. The date and time are incorrect. #cameratrapping

It is interesting to observe by means of CTs how wildlife react to lures (castorenom and valerian). In particular, the reaction of #wildboar. #cameratrapping #attractants #Alps

It has been a long time since I last saw so many #wildboars passing by my camera trap. Swiss Prealps #cameratrapping

Publiée dans @wildlifebiology.bsky.social, une étude @dee-unil.bsky.social & @korafoundation.bsky.social révèle que les #loups présents dans les #Alpes du Nord & le #Jura consomment majoritairement des cerfs, chevreuils & chamois.

Que mangent les loups en Suisse ? 🐺🦌🧬
En Suisse, les loups se nourrissent principalement d’ongulés sauvages – en particulier de cerfs élaphes. Au total, les animaux sauvages représentent 88,3 % du régime alimentaire du loup. @fbm-unil.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/wlb3...

A brief moment spent in the company of the ghost of our forests. This is the first time an individual has shown interest in the lure I put on top of the trunc. He disappears as suddenly as it appeared, balancing on the fallen tree trunk like #lynx like to do! #cameratrapping #Swiss #Alps

This is the first time a red #deer fawn has been detected by my #cameratrap. It is followed by a ten-point stag sniffing the attractant I placed for the Eurasian lynx. #cameratrapping #Swiss #Alps

This red #deer probably removed the cover I had placed over my #cameratrap to protect its lens and sensor.
