#newpaper led by @wildco.bsky.social MSc Katie Tjaden-McClement: “Mixed evidence for disturbance-mediated apparent competition for declining caribou in western British Columbia, Canada” wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... (thread: 1/7)

🧪🦊 Just the usual shenanigans at 4AM in the middle of a provincial park. It's difficult to see but there's a small mammal (we think a vole?) being chased/played with by the coyote (Canis latrans).

🧪🌎 Happy Earth Day from WildCo! Very much feeling the Marmot in the camera trap image below as it stares in awe at the beauty of the landscape (and of the ever retreating glaciers in the face of anthropogenic climate change). 📍📸 Photo taken at Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia

🧪 It’s great to be here on @bsky.app! It’s been a while, so it’s quite fitting for the lab’s inaugural BlueSky thread to be a string of recent papers put out by the lab’s folks! 📸 📍 Picture from Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia.

Hello Bluesky 👋 We’re WildCo - a wildlife conservation and management research collective based out of @forestry.ubc.ca. This is where we will continue sharing the latest in wildlife and the use of camera traps in their research! #wildlife #research 🐻 Image from Mt. Robson Provincial Park!
