New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The Willamette Pass in Oregon, at about 5100ft, is usually under about 10 feet of snow this time of year. Today, it is virtually snow free with a temperature of 61°F.

New paper alert! Alexandra Vanderzee found that AnyDorsal can effectively identify Risso's dolphins. This is a fun result because a) AnyDorsal wasn't trained on Risso's and b) it shows AnyDorsal can balance scars dorsal notches as separate ID information onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

For decades biologists assumed ravens follow wolves to their kills. Our paper @science.org shows something different: ravens rarely follow wolves far. Instead they remember areas where wolf kills are common and return to them—sometimes from >150 km away. doi.org/10.1126/science.adz9467 📷Dan Stahler

Shoutout to my incredible lab mate, Martin! Such a rad paper!

I’m thrilled to see my dissertation’s second chapter published in Conservation Biology. In the paper, we found that researchers can use high-performance identification algorithms to reduce the cost of population assessments without biasing abundance estimates. tinyurl.com/ne8tbpw3

Hi everyone! I'm a PhD candidate studying new tools for assessing stocks of whales and dolphins. Here is the first chapter of my dissertation, where we explore the strengths and weaknesses of a multispecies individual identification algorithm. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
