Canids seem to be the routine lovers, reusing their travel routes more than felids. This shapes hunting, encounters, and even disease spread. Insights from 1,239 GPS-tracked carnivores, including the Arctic foxes we track on Bylot Island 🧪🌿🌎🌐🦊. Read in the latest PNAS at bitly.cx/TxI2

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB! We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB! 🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

🐾🛰️ Are you running (or designing) an animal tracking project and are not sure how long to track your animals for? Or how often to collect new locations? Then check out our application published in @MethodsEcolEvol (Early View!) #rstats #rshiny #ecology

🐾 New tool alert! With the 'movedesign' R Shiny app, you can design reliable animal tracking studies: useful for home range and speed estimation. Read the preprint here:  #rstats #shiny #animalmovement

It's out! Paper published in @MethodsEcolEvol by me, @IntegratEcology, @MikeNoonanUBC and several twitterless collaborators. Do you want to accurately estimate home ranges and account for modern tracking data biases? Check it out here: 🥳

Our reptile home range literature review is finally out (@MattEcology, me, @Ben_M_Marshall, @strine_t)! Only 1.4% of studies linked to available (and usable) telemetry data #OpenScience #Ecology

Our latest paper (with @MattEcology, @Ben_M_Marshall, @strine_t) has been published in #MovementEcology here: . Using simulations, we explored how dBBMMs can reveal movement pathways for #reptile VHF telemetry data at low resolutions (eg once a week/month).

New preprint out that evaluates traditional home range estimators used for reptile studies. Dynamic Brownian Bridge Movement Models are a powerful alternative for reptile home ranges! From myself, @MattEcology, @Ben_M_Marshall, Colin Strine. Read it here:

First paper based on my PhD work is out in @AnimalConserv as #EarlyView! 124 vertebrate species affected by roadkill, on a road intersecting an UNESCO World Heritage Site in Thailand. Co-authors @MattEcology & Tommaso Savini.

What a great conference in a great venue with great people! Thank you to the organizing committee at Prince of Songkla University, @PipatSS and #IBRC2019

Joe Chun-Chia Huang looked into bat roadkill patterns in Taiwan. There are at least two of us now! #roadecology in SEA is growing. Check out the Taiwan Roadkill Observation Network @EcojoeHuang #IBRC2019

Overpasses can increase habitat connectivity for bats, but it is context-dependent. They are effective if placed in the right locations, but can significantly increase the flight height of bats over roads. @fabienclaireau at #IBRC2019

Dr. Winifred Frick presents the conservation challenges for critically endangered cave-dwelling bats in the Caribbean: feral cats are a significant concern, and mitigation measures need to be applied. @FrickWinifred
