Programmed seasonal brain shrinkage in the common shrew via water loss without cell death Open
Brain plasticity, the brain's inherent ability to adapt its structure and function, is crucial for responding to environmental challenges but is usually not linked to a significant change in size. A striking exception to this is Dehnel's p…

Direct interactions between livestock guarding dogs and wildlife in a transhumance grazing system Open
Livestock guarding dogs (LGDs) are suggested to help facilitate human–wildlife coexistence because they are considered effective at preventing livestock losses and reducing persecution of predators. However, LGDs have been observed harassi…

Not afraid of the big bad wolf: calls from large predators do not silence mesopredators Open
Large predators are known to shape the behavior and ecology of sympatric predators via conflict and competition, with mesopredators thought to avoid large predators, while dogs suppress predator activity and act as guardians of human prope…

The DeepFaune initiative: a collaborative effort towards the automatic identification of French fauna in camera-trap images Open
Camera traps have revolutionized how ecologists monitor wildlife, but their full potential is realized only when the hundreds of thousands of collected images can be readily classified with minimal human intervention. Deep-learning classif…
