This is so depressing. Ceding the future to other countries while we make our air dirtier and our planet hotter. Gift link, if you dare. Really hope this horrible bill fails completely. wapo.st/44EZL4X

Our analysis of BBS data (through 2023) just came out! doi.org/10.5066/P1F2...

New paper out, led by @villarreal-miguel.bsky.social. There's a disconnect between remote sensing advances and application to ecology (including only 11 UAS papers in Landscape Ecology!). We provide a guide for using drones to answer ecological ?s: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #uas #drones

2nd chapter of my PhD just published in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/2041... Another step towards linking animal migration and population dynamics using integrated modelling! The secret lies in a neat equation relating survival and transition probabilities between migratory regions

I'm currently seeking PhD candidates to help me work on exciting ecological forecasting problems using #rstats ecogambler.netlify.app/opportunities/ 🌎

Post-migratory movements in the nonbreeding season are in fact displayed by a surprising number of birds around the world, with diverse resource- or weather-based cues. Two former students in the lab wrote a paper documenting examples of this: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Long-billed Curlew and 'Akikiki may be an ocean apart, but they have at least one thing in common: They both benefit from funds coming from the United States federal budgeting (AKA, appropriations) process. 🪶

Are you looking to get a graduate degree in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences? This funded MS project at OSU is focused on testing a range of non-invasive method for small mammals (enclosed camera trapping + thermal cameras mounted on drones) against SCR applied to live trapping data.

Our article in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social on migratory connectivity, data integration, bidirectional data, and more just came out! 🧵 (eventually) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

This would be grand! Of course Zotero would have to guess which articles I actually read and which ones I just skimmed the abstract.

Excited to share a new opportunity in my new lab at Cambridge! We are looking for a highly motivated, early-career, postdoctoral scientist to be part of a growing effort in #connectivity conservation. 3-yr position housed in the Cambridge Conservation Initiative! www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49330/

Learn how to draw a North Atlantic Right Whale at the Science Museum of Virginia. Sad thing is that enough kids draw these each day to represent the entire population (c. 375) 😔 🦑

In "Consequences of cross-season demographic correlations for population viability," the authors establish positive correlations between population growth rates for three distinct groups of Atlantic puffins. t.co/vFyPXFI3yD

Do you like calendars? I do! Maybe we could like them in the same room sometime. Please buy so I can continue to afford comics: www.calendars.com/shop/Samurai...

Today’s poem is called ‘The Importance of the Oxford Comma’.

I get that scientists want/need to reach out to as many people as possible and that this involves posting on multiple platforms. But if we want the migration of science to Bluesky to be successful, IMO we shouldn’t keep contributing scientific content to X

Ready to learn how to use LiDAR for research in #forestry and natural resources using #R? This week I am releasing a 7-part series to help you get started! Share with anyone you know who wants to get started. Part 1 covers acquiring, & viewing LiDAR data! bit.ly/lidR-module1

Need some cheering up? How about some coati babies :-) from the Central Volcanic Chain of Guatemala. Kudos to my collaborators for picking this cool spot to set up a camera trap.

Was Clements wrong? Resasco et al. revisit the Clements and Gleason debate with plant distributions from Pikes Peak, Clements’s life-long study site. Read this new historical perspective now ahead of print! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

I'm a quantitative ecologist, focused on wildlife population ecology, wildlife migration, and conservation biology. I mostly study birds and marine mammals. One of my primary tasks is analyzing data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey. 🐦🦅🐦‍⬛🦆🐳 🧪 🌍

Another advantage of histograms over stacked bar charts is you can easily include error bars if you have a measure of uncertainty

Two snowstorms in 2021 set new records of snow and subfreezing temperatures in southeastern US. Then, people reported massive die-offs in wildlife, including among Eastern Bluebirds. Rolland et al. investigate what allowed some to survive. Read now! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Amazing work painting my "egg!"

Preliminary Halloween costume: cowbird egg in a wood thrush nest (not to scale)

Just Released: The State of Canada's Birds. Birds Canada and Canadian Wildlife Service collaborated to create the go-to source for information on the status of every species of bird that regularly occurs in Canada. #ornithology #ecologicalMonitoring #birds naturecounts.ca/nc/socb-epoc...

Interested in migratory connectivity? Data integration? Come see my talk tomorrow at 11 at #AOS24 to learn more! @amornith.bsky.social

@arpatoz.bsky.social looks like great work as usual!

#AOS24 bound. Hope to see some of you in Estes Park!

Who's going to the American Ornithological Society conference this year (next week!)? #aos2024 🌎 🐦🕊️🐤🦜🦩🦆🐧🦢🦚

Honored to be a part of this cool research led by Ryan Burner on accounting for Breeding Bird Survey stop location uncertainty. doi.org/10.1093/orni...

We are very excited that our new Pielou Review, by Hanna Kokko, is now out! Check it out here 👉 https://buff.ly/3TwlVAD

Hello Bluesky! I'm a quantitative population ecologist that has branched out into migration research. These days I'm mostly focused on birds and marine mammals. Looking forward to learning what folks are up to!
