EUROMAMMALS is an umbrella project that coordinates and connects different species-specific, open, bottom-up projects that promote collaborative science among research institutes based on knowledge and data sharing to investigate the movement ecology of European wildlife in their different habitats and management regimes
Roe deer
The European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is a widespread species in Europe. The EURODEER project started in 2008. More than 40 institutes from 18 countries are collaborating and sharing data to investigate scientific questions at regional scale.
Red deer
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is a large, iconic deer species, common in Europe. EUREDDEER network is the same of EURODEER but with a species-specific shared database.
Wild boar
The wild boar (Sus scrofa), is a suid native to much of Eurasia and one of the widest-ranging mammals. The EUROBOAR project started in 2015 and the network includes 37 research groups from 20 different countries.
Lynx
The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) is a medium-sized wild cat occurring from Northern, Central and Eastern Europe to Central Asia and Siberia, the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas. The EUROLYNX project started in 2018 and is establishing the network and the shared database.
Wildcat
The European wildcat (Felis silvestris) is a small wild cat native to Europe and the Caucasus. The EUROWILDCAT project started in 2018 and is establishing the network and the shared database
Afrimove
AFRIMOVE is a parallel project federated with the European species specific scientific network. It is based on a geographic area (mainly southern Africa) instead of a single species. It started in 2018 and the databse and network are already well established.
Insitutions involved in Eurodeer, Eureddeer and Euroboar projects
Since 2012, Vectronic Aerospace GmbH is the official sponsor of EURODEER project. In 2018, it has started to support EUROMAMMALS, which includes sponsorship for EURODEER, EUREDDEER and EUROBOAR networks, activities and spatial database development, showing to strongly believe in the scientific potentiality of animal-borne information, such that provided by their products.
