Drone-Based Thermal Imaging in the Detection of Wildlife Carcasses and Disease Management
Rietz, Janine; van Beeck Calkoen, Suzanne T. S; Ferry, Nicolas; Schlüter, Jens; Wehner, Helena; Schindlatz, Karl-Heinz; Lackner, Tomáš; von Hoermann, Christian; Conraths, Franz J.; Müller, Jörg; Heurich, Marco Dietmar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Because animal carcasses often serve as reservoirs for pathogens, their location and removal are crucial in controlling the spread of diseases. During carcass decomposition, heat is emitted due to microbial activity and ... -
Factors influencing carrion communities are only partially consistent with those of deadwood necromass
von Hoermann, Christian; Benbow, M. Eric; Rottler-Hoermann, Ann-Marie; Lackner, Tomáš; Sommer, David; Receveur, Joseph P.; Bässler, Claus; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Müller, Jörg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Research on decomposer communities has traditionally focused on plant litter or deadwood. Even though carrion forms highly nutrient-rich necromass that enhance ecosystem heterogeneity, the factors infuencing saprophytic ... -
Scavenger-induced scattering of wild boar carcasses over large distances and its implications for disease management
Rietz, Janine; Ischebeck, Sophia; Conraths, Franz J.; Probst, Carolina; Zedrosser, Andreas; Fiderer, Christian; Reckel, Frank; von Hoermann, Christian; Müller, Jörg; Heurich, Marco Dietmar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Vertebrate scavengers provide essential ecosystem services such as accelerating carrion decomposition by consuming carcasses, exposing tissues to microbial and invertebrate decomposers, and recycling nutrients back into ... -
Seasonal variability of scavenger visitations is independent of carrion predictability
De Pelsmaeker, Nicolas; Ferry, Nicolas; Stiegler, Jonas; Selva, Nuria; von Hoermann, Christian; Müller, Jörg; Heurich, Marco Dietmar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In temperate regions, larger mammalian carrion naturally occurs in terrestrial landscapes as a pulsed resource towards the end of the winter through enhanced ungulate mortality due to starvation or exhaustion. The return ...
