• 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 ...
