Science-driven coexistence: Results from the 2023 Slovenian brown bear genetic monitoring

The 2023 genetic monitoring of brown bears in Slovenia, utilizing extensive non-invasive DNA sampling analysed by DivjaLabs, estimated a highly precise minimum autumn population of 737 individuals. Although the population has grown linearly over the past two decades and is slowly expanding its spatial range, current science-based management strategies aim to stabilize the numbers to ensure long-term human-bear coexistence.

Expanding or staying distinct? New genetic insights into Europe’s golden jackals

A recent genetic study co-authored by DivjaLabs researchers investigated the population dynamics of European golden jackals, focusing on the contact zone between the rapidly expanding Pannonian population and the historically isolated Dalmatian population. The analysis of new genetic samples from multiple countries revealed that while Pannonian jackals are driving the species' broader European expansion, the Dalmatian population remains largely distinct and restricted, showing only sporadic evidence of long-distance gene flow extending as far as eastern Italy.

Plenty of habitat but limited connectivity for brown bears in Europe

A newly published study in Diversity and Distributions paints a nuanced picture of the future of brown bears in Europe: while large areas of the continent still offer suitable habitat, human-dominated landscapes increasingly restrict the connections that bears need to move, disperse, and maintain healthy populations.
