Dietary composition and overlap among small- and medium-sized carnivores in Flanders, Belgium

There are increasing concerns about the status and population trends carnivores around the world. Carnivores play an important role in terrestrial ecosystems, as their interactions influence the composition and function of ecological communities. In the context of global change, it is essential to understand the interactions and resource use of carnivores. In this study, we explore the dietary ecology of six small- and medium-sized carnivores (red fox, European badger, European polecat, stoat, stone marten and least weasel) to determine their main food resources and the degree of food overlap in Flanders, Belgium. The studied species differed in their food consumption pattern with some being generalist and some more specialist. The dietary composition among the species was clearly different, although certain species showed considerable overlap for different food types. We also conclude that the differences and overlap in dietary habits among the species were consistent across seasons. Understanding these relationships among species' populations and their dietary ecology is essential for biodiversity conservation and nature management.

Citizen Science Initiatives in Belgium

This dataset contains original mapping data developed in the process of the Belgiuam Citizen Science landscape review. In total, 31 German Citizen Science projects were analysed according to a common framework. During the mapping process, we weren’t always able to find information on things that interested us e.g. project impact, stakeholder engagement, the size of the volunteering force. But just because we couldn’t find something does not mean the results or activities did not happen. It goes without saying that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Failure to find some information on our part can be explained by the fact that we worked primarily with internet sources, so we had to make do with whatever publicly available information we could find within reasonable time.

[Belgium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgium/) is a country in Western Europe bordered by the Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, Luxembourg to the southeast, France to the southwest, and the North Sea to the northwest. It covers an area of 30,689 km2 (11,849 sq mi) and has a population of more than 11.5 million, making it the 22nd most densely populated country in the world and the 6th most densely populated country in Europe, with a density of 376 per square kilometre (970/sq mi). The capital and largest city is Brussels; other major cities are Antwerp, Ghent, Charleroi, Liège, Bruges, Namur, and Leuven. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
