Went for a trail run after ages! 🏃🏽⛰️ P.S. still haven’t got used to the miles-kilometer conversion though…

38 years ago, Red Wolf howls returned to NC when 8 captive-born wolves were released. Since then, more have followed, including Red Wolf Deven from the WCC in 2021. This #RedWolfWeek we honor their journey and look ahead to more releases and a future where they thrive. 🔗 nywolf.org/red-wolf-wee...

Last week I had this amazing opportunity to attend a seminar and learn about the importance, both ecological and economical, of conserving longleaf forests—delivered by Lisa Lord from Longleaf Alliance.

Got this amazing opportunity to refresh the do(s) and don’t(s) regarding academic writing and publishing. Thanks @whysharksmatter.bsky.social !

Combining #cameratrap data with tourist sightings improves leopards monitoring. Wow!🤩 @rsecjournal.bsky.social @antoniouzal.bsky.social zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🐦🔬 Recruiting PhD students! 🌎🧬 I’m looking for 1–2 PhD students to join our team starting Fall 2026 at the Sam Noble Museum & University of Oklahoma. Our research: 🐦 birds • 🌍 biogeography • 🌴 Neotropics • 🧬 population genomics • 🌱 speciation 👉 Learn more: www.moncriefflab.org Please share!

Do opposites really attract?🐺❤️ With Red Wolves, it might be true. Our research partner Lovin (USU grad. advised by Dr. Julie Young) is studying mate compatibility and early findings suggest wolves with contrasting personalities may be more likely to have pups.

Happy to share new work from the lab and a wonderful group of co-authors: We argue that conservation biology needs to move beyond the current focus on species richness metrics. While this has been argued before, we highlight the unappreciated impacts of using richness for a variety of problems:

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social] In 2019 the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) faced allegations that park rangers it supported had committed serious human rights abuses. The ensuing scandal did more than tarnish the organization’s reputation. It forced a reckoning.

At the Musekese Conservation research station in Zambia, trainee field ecologist Chisomo M’hango analyzes camera trap images of leopards, lions and wild dogs. M’hango says lion numbers are starting to rise, signaling renewed efforts to prevent poaching in the park is bearing fruit.

When it gets really hot, my favourite drink is Summer Water. It's just cold plain tap water with some ice. Oh yeah, just add vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, a splash of coke, and lime and lemon juice. Ok some people call it a long island iced tea but it's pretty much just tap water.

The biggest publishers pulled profit margins in 2023 that rival Big Tech. And they still charge you to publish and your library to read. When are we going to start seriously thinking of alternatives to reform #PeerReview? 🧪 #SciPub #AcademicPublishing

Leopards are the second-most traded wildcat in the world, despite their trade being prohibited under CITES. The legal and illegal trade, coupled with losses to habitat and prey, has caused widespread declines in leopard populations across their ranges in Asia and Africa.

Finally! @nature.com is making #PeerReview reports public. Transparency like this is a huge win for science, trust, & credibility. Now if only they'd adopt #doubleblind review and always disclose reviewer identities, they might be as transformative as @stacksjournal.bsky.social #SciPub 🧪

Few spots still available after some drop-outs. Register asap if you're interested!

"Thousands of GPS tracking collars have been deployed on elephants across Africa, for many different reasons. Each [...] yet too often the data is filed away and rarely used again once it has served its immediate purpose."
