Richard Bischof is a Professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), affiliated with the Ecology and Natural Resource Management Section. His research focuses on wildlife population dynamics, spatial ecology, and conservation biology, particularly in large carnivores and boreal/tropical ecosystems. He specializes in advanced methodologies like spatial capture-recapture modeling and noninvasive genetic sampling to estimate population parameters and inform conservation strategies. Key research interests include understanding the effects of environmental variability, human activities, and management practices on species distribution and population trends. His work often addresses challenges in monitoring elusive species such as bears, wolves, and wolverines, emphasizing the integration of genetic data and spatial analysis to improve conservation outcomes. Recent studies highlight his contributions to quantifying population dynamics of Scandinavian large carnivores, evaluating the impacts of wind energy development on forest biodiversity, and analyzing behavioral adaptations of tropical mammals to anthropogenic pressures. Bischof’s interdisciplinary approach bridges ecological theory with applied conservation, addressing pressing issues like transboundary wildlife management and the mitigation of human-wildlife conflicts.

Prof. Dr. Ebubekir GÜNDOĞDU is a full-time Professor of Forest Engineering in the Faculty of Forestry at Bursa Technical University , Mimar Sinan Campus, Turkey. His expertise lies in wildlife ecology, biodiversity conservation, and the interactions between forest fires and fauna, with a particular focus on large mammals such as the Anatolian leopard and brown bear. Research Interests: Wildlife ecology and population dynamics of flagship species (Anatolian leopard, brown bear, wild goat) Biodiversity assessment and conservation planning in protected areas Forest fire impacts on wildlife habitats and post-fire restoration strategies Ecological design and sustainable housing principles Road ecology and mitigation of habitat fragmentation Ecotourism potential and sustainable wildlife-based tourism development Over the past five years, his research has concentrated on camera-trapping surveys to document rare carnivores, estimating population densities of brown bears in the Eastern Black Sea Mountains, and evaluating how traditional architecture in Mersin incorporates ecological design. He has also actively investigated the recovery of wildlife communities after forest fires, providing critical data for management and restoration efforts. Publications & Impact: His Google Scholar profile lists 20 publications receiving 77 citations, yielding an h-index of 5 and an i10-index of 3. These works collectively cover wildlife inventory, habitat modelling, conservation genetics, and interdisciplinary studies linking landscape architecture with wildlife habitat requirements.

Scott Michael Brainerd is an Associate Professor at the University of Inland Norway, affiliated with the Faculty of Applied Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnology and the Department of Forestry and Outback Studies . His research focuses on wildlife ecology, predator-prey dynamics, and conservation biology, particularly in boreal ecosystems. He leads the WILDCOM research group ( Ecological Communities in Change ), exploring ecological community dynamics in changing environments. Key research interests include pine marten population dynamics, the effects of forestry practices on wildlife, animal welfare standards in hunting, and wolf population dynamics. His work spans Scandinavia, with notable contributions to understanding rodent- predator interactions, lead ammunition impacts on moose, and the socio-ecological challenges of large carnivore conservation. Recent publications highlight studies on pine marten habitat selection ( Wildlife Biology ), wolf population viability ( Scientific Reports ), and behavioral adaptations of herbivores to climate change ( Movement Ecology ). He collaborates extensively with institutions like the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) and engages in interdisciplinary projects addressing human-wildlife conflict and sustainable biodiversity management. Brainerd's work bridges ecological research and policy, contributing to evidence-based conservation strategies for threatened species and ecosystems. His research has informed wildlife management practices in Fennoscandia, emphasizing adaptive governance and community engagement.
