Mammals moving in the Anthropocene: new paper in SCIENCE
/
Sometimes a collaboration that started on one topic can turn into something productive on a somewhat different one! A paper published today in the journal Science, on which MIMMP PI, Nico de Bruyn, is a coauthor represents such a case. This paper, led by Marlee Tucker, uses tracking data from multiple terrestrial mammals to show that humans are causing major changes in the way wild mammals move in the landscape.
Clearly, this terrestrially centered paper does not contain data from our Marion Island marine mammals. It was a collaboration started years ago with Marlee Tucker, using some tracking data from Marion Island seals (not used here), that resulted in Nico's intellectual involvement here. This paper makes for an interesting read and brings to mind the question of how the marine environment might compare........
