Movement and demography of Alpine ibex

How snow conditions and avalanche risk shape the movement, habitat use and demography of Alpine ibex.

We study how snow conditions and avalanche risk influence the movement and habitat use of Alpine ibex, and how these movement decisions translate into population-level effects. The project is carried out together with the Swiss National Park.

A fuller description of this project will follow.
