I honestly thought December was way colder in the Northeast than what the numbers indicate. Seven mild Decembers in a row really messes up your perception...

We are recruiting several PhD students. If you are interested in conservation conflicts, population ecology, quantitative ecology, or biodiversity, check these projects out (links in the thread, feel free to reach out):

Fresh out in @britishecologicalsociety.org (Ecology and Evolution), we developed SiMPL magnets (a remote camera design) to detect all creatures great and small. 🙂 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... Excellent work Jahiya Clark and others! Data were critical for AI dev in DeepFaune New England

Check out our new paper published from @britishecologicalsociety.org journal Ecology and Evolution led by Dr. Larry Clarfeld. We developed a highly accurate animal classification model using remote #camera data from multiple networks and designs: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Can we predict microhabitat selection of animals using drones? We did in our new article from @wildlifebiology.bsky.social and found that traditional and 3D metrics (derived from drones) do an good job at explaining and predicting microhabitats. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

New research using 46 GPS datasets from 17 wildlife species to validate our pan-Canadian connectivity model rdcu.be/eMWN5

Great new article in @animalecology.bsky.social highlighting how to properly account for detection while estimating insect abundance. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1.... We showed using a review how this is also a problem for ticks: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

1 week left to apply to our Postdoc job with our lab using AI to analyze camera trap images at the NC Museum of Natural sciences and NCSU and in collaboration with Wildlife Insights https:/​/​jobs.ncsu.edu/​postings/​223025

new pub out — Yosemite is a perfect (and picturesque) place to show how heterogeneity can shape species distributions and foraging patterns. Grateful to Yosemite NP, Levi & Sacks labs & @roguedogs.bsky.social for their collaboration 💗

Using spatial capture–recapture methods to estimate long-term spatiotemporal variation of a wide-ranging marine species vist.ly/32t84 #BlueWhale #CaptureRecapture #Distribution

Our review led by S. Savazza "Measuring Personality in Wild Small Mammals: A Review of Methods and Proposal for a Standardised Approach" is out, free open access, in mammal review onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

How do #forests influence #snowpack dynamics in the northeastern US? Check out our new paper led by @lispastore.bsky.social and Dr. Nelson (@appmtnclub.bsky.social) published in @esajournals.bsky.social: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... Hint: mixedwood forests = snow refugia.

The WildCo Lab @wildco.bsky.social is recruiting 2 postdocs in quantitative ecology to work on mammal population estimation and monitoring from camera trap data. 🐺🐻🦌📷📈 Please share the word or apply to join us at UBC in lovely Vancouver, Canada! wildlife.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2025/0...

My latest "Nexus Notes" – Land sparing vs. land sharing, the pulse of rivers, ocean summits, and peer review is broken

Check out our new paper in Current Biology on how well Chinese protected areas have preserved mammal and bird communities #cameratrap includes work-of-art figures by lead author Junjie Liu www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Check out our new article in @wildliferesearchj.bsky.social evaluating the influence of snow, winter severity indices (WSI), and human influence on🦌survival. Deep ❄️ = low survival, human influence = higher survival, WSI = overpredicted survival. www.publish.csiro.au/WR/WR25008

📢New paper 📢 MS student Clara Dawson's 1st chapter is out! Does increased habitat connectivity always increase wildlife-vehicle collision rates? No! We found nonlinear effects of connectivity on wildlife-vehicle collisions Free access: rdcu.be/emUU3

What if you could look up exactly where a species has been found and where it’s likely to be found in the future? What if land stewards could use that information when creating conservation plans? VCE's Brian Kron and Mike Hallworth are helping them do just that in Vermont. tinyurl.com/bdh99th3

New paper! If trees are closely related, does it matter where they are from to plant-eating insects? We raised >950 Promethea moth caterpillars on 14 Prunus species to answer that question. Turns out, it matters a lot! Non-native trees = Lower performance OA paper here: doi.org/10.1002/ecs2...

📖Published📖 Moeller et al. developed Survival and Habitat Quality model (SHQ), a novel modelling approach to connect survival to the cumulative effects of resources, risks, and environmental conditions experienced over an individual's lifetime 🌎 🧪 Read more here 👇 buff.ly/sry3vap

We are hiring a chair/professor in our Ecology and Environmental Modelling group at @uniofstandrews.bsky.social. Scotland is a lovely place to work, and my colleagues are fantastic! Reach out if you are interested in joining the CREEM family ☺️ vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/I/...

Scientists have been publishing climate models since ~1970. A good way to evaluate their skill is to compare what they expected to happen in the years after the model was published to observed climate changes. It turns out most models were pretty spot-on:

Fate of Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit staffers — Matt Kauffman, Anna Chalfoun and Annika Walters — remains unclear, but Trump administration cuts have led to widespread suspicion that their days on the job are numbered.

Last week, our team was in rural Maine, talking to counselors and students at Mill Stream Elementary about the value of mental health services in schools. Then, last Wednesday night, as we were on the road home the Trump administration announced cuts... www.npr.org/2025/05/07/n...

News re the Can Soc Ecol Evol meeting in Sherbrooke in July: You may now register for workshops through our website: 🔗 event.fourwaves.com/fr/scee2025/... This registration does not include access to the rest of the conference.

We're looking for a new PhD student! Don't miss this great opportunity to work with Ryan Norris, Bill DeLuca, Michael Hallworth, and others to reveal the epic migration of Blackpoll Warblers from across the Boreal Forest. See the details here: https:/tinyurl.com/BLPWphd

Just saw this announcement by DOI to increase hunting and fishing access on federal lands. I support increased hunting opportunities but this makes no sense in light of the federal RIF, including law-enforcement: www.doi.gov/pressrelease...

What if you could camp overnight on a New England mountain and then do a sunrise hike...and protect birds while you're at it? We're recruiting for mountain hiking routes in the Adirondacks, Maine, and New Hampshire: vtecostudies.org/projects/mou...

Watching Le Debat Des Chefs on @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social news. This may not be impressive for Canadians, but it’s really neat to see that all candidates are bilingual!

I share this study of job-related mortalities of wildlife biologists as a reminder that this job is not without risks. 66% of all recorded deaths were caused by aircraft accidents. Drowning and vehicle accidents were 16%. Safety is vital, as is detailed planning. Choose your pilots carefully!

🚨 I'm super happy to announce that our new paper is finally out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social! 🚨 We used the ecological approach of occupancy modelling to investigate the structure of the dinosaur fossil record prior to the K/Pg mass extinction! www.cell.com/current-biol...

New paper from @currentbiology.bsky.social highlighting the use of occupancy modeling to detect dinosaurs during Cretaceous Period. Nice work @princessquatris.bsky.social! www.cell.com/current-biol...

Listening to music this morning and came across this beautiful song. It made me think of my mother and all of those who give us life, despite challenging circumstances and dark times: m.youtube.com/watch?v=TKsr.... Thanks, mom and to all other moms in this world.

I am currently looking for an MSc student to join my research group for September 2025 to investigate moose habitat selection in the context of apparent competition in Ontario's Far North. Please share and contact me for further details!

"Over the limit: Consequences of gray squirrel personality on the shifting range limits of oak and hickory species" led by Maisie Merz is now out (open access) in Global Ecology and Conservation. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
