🐺🐺🐺 NEW PAPER! 🐺🐺🐺 Recovering wolves in WA tolerate threats except high harvest, high lethal removals, and lack of immigration With @labgardner.bsky.social, Sarah Converse, & Ben Maletzke zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

OPT provides short-term work visas for recent international graduate students in the US, allowing them to work after their student visa expires. It's a pipeline for jobs in medicine, biomedical research, education, technology, engineering, and other highly skilled work. This is very, very, bad.

🐆🐆 TWO M.S. POSITIONS AVAILABLE IN MY LAB!! Focus will be bobcat and coyote dynamics in an ocelot pre-reintroduction landscape. Come join the fun. Deadline is June 1 for an August start 🐆🐆 Position posting is here: tinyurl.com/5y3uhbf3

🚨🎉 New paper "Ten quick tips to get you started with Bayesian statistics", hope you'll like it 😇🤗 ✍🏽 w/ Andy Royle, Marc Kéry and Chloé Nater 🔗 dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour... @plos.org @cnrsecologie.bsky.social @cnrsoccitanieest.bsky.social @umontpellier.bsky.social

Are you going to #ICCB2025 in Brisbane? Come take the Geospatial Analysis in R all-day workshop on Saturday, June 14. This workshop was developed by me and @amandacheeseman.bsky.social in the COVID era, and now has some brand-new updates from @thespeclab.bsky.social! Join us! 🗺️🤓🦘

Anyone in the wildlife ecology world in need of a good data analyst/ lab/ project manager or someone to help polish up those outstanding pubs? I have a brilliant graduating MS student looking. Photo from some of her work for attention!

So emotional seeing my first-ever teaching evaluations! 😭 Creating all the materials from scratch was tough, but incredibly rewarding. I put a lot of thought into what students need in the AI era—sharing the complete class materials here in case they're helpful: clsong.github.io/EEB_C234/01_...

Excited to say that the stickers of all #2025MMM contestants are finished and up on the store. Check them out here: brushesandbiomes.printful.me #mammals #sciart #watercolor #art

I feel so honored to be mentioned by #2025MMM. Spotted skunks are the best

March Mammal Madness fans, good news! @natickbobcat.bsky.social created a Starter Pack of folks involved in #2025MMM. I also converted it into a Bluesky List so you have both options. Happy species research! List: bsky.app/profile/did:... Pack: go.bsky.app/BVUtr1g 🧪

"The US took nearly a century to craft its rich scientific ecosystem; if the unraveling that has taken place over the past month continues, Americans will feel the effects for decades to come." www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Baby tapir Ume had her first encounter with the water dish and it’s adorable! 🥰

What kind of research do they consider "wasteful DEI"? Reading through the project descriptions (column N) and it's project grants studying: -fentanyl overdose prevention -earthquake disaster preparedness -renewable energy -kidney disease (and other healthcare topics) -disability aid product design

How do you get followers on here, post fun bear videos? 🐻

Lucky enough to visit Antarctica over the holidays and met the best seals- figured Bluesky needed to meet them too

In-line with some Ichthyology/ornithology individuals on here, I want to do 25 days of #BatMas this year! Follow this thread to learn about bats everyday! 🦇 🧵

Mentions of research on Bluesky have crossed a half million posts as of this morning. #Academicsky #Metascience #highered #MedSky

There is still space left in the #biodiversity #redistribution starter pack ⬇️ If you are working on or interested in biodiversity responses, aka #species #range #shifts & #community #composition #changes, to global change drivers, I'd be happy to add you in the list 😀 go.bsky.app/6KqEpb9

Anyone find any good starter packs for nature / space photographers? (Preferably not full of AI). Missing my spectacular landscapes and skies portion of my feed from the other place…

Come join us! We have such a fantastic and supportive group of faculty and I think there is potential to teach a variety of courses specialized to your interests with this one! 🦌 🌳🦜🦞🐠

As promised, here's a list of women doing research in Ecology & Evolution. You can pin it to your home and then follow these wonderful scientists by clicking the about tab. If you want to be added just comment or DM me. Please share far and wide :) 🧪🌍🌐 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Antarctica Day is on Dec 1st each year. It marks the signing of the Antarctic Treaty, which sets aside Antarctica as a continent for peace and science. To help celebrate, here’s a photo I took a couple of years ago, of a seal which had clearly got the message about peace. Happy #AntarcticaDay!!

For anyone else tracking blue sky’s population boom this is a fun tracker and neat bit of coding bcounter.nat.vg Thanks @natalie.sh!

I've updated this starter pack for all interested! Now bursting with over 100 natural history museum related accounts 🎉🌱🦆🙌 go.bsky.app/NtdUnyF

Making starter packs seems to be the hot thing and I noticed that we don't have one for conservation scientists (🧪), so here we go go.bsky.app/3CZDnb2 So if you are an active researcher and would like to be added, reply here. Please no journalists or NGOs, there are other starting lists for that ;)

Very interesting work on improving species distribution modelling #SDM by combining several #R packages!

Here are some nice mushrooms

🌎🧪Forest Ecology Starter Pack now available for those studying various aspects of forest 🌲🌳🌴ecosystems. The starter pack is limited to 150 names & it is now full. To grow your network: follow folks, get followed, re-post, & enjoy! go.bsky.app/8ZNK9jy

I made a Carnivore Ecologists Starter Pack! If you want to be added, please let me know 🤩🐻🐻‍❄️🐺🦨🦡🐾🦭🦊🦦🦝🐆🐅 🧪🌎 go.bsky.app/7hdbr6C

Oo! Great potion with a great advisor!

Hey new followers! 🌞 Here's a sparkly blue eustyline weevil from the Colombian Andes near Pueblo Rico, Risaralda 💙💚 more pics on iNat: www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Earth did not survive a collision with another planet, hundreds of asteroid and comet impacts, hundreds of millions of years of deadly radiation from space, five mass extinctions, and literally freezing solid for you to give up on her now.

The ecoevojobs google doc has crowdsourced postdoc, fixed term faculty, and TT faculty jobs!! ecoevojobs.net

Does anyone else get pressure to not take sick days when you teach (I.e. “not allowed”)? Moping about before class with no voice and a wet cough wondering how to make this work…. #AcademicSky

I swear- can’t even keep fake fiddle leaf figs

Sometimes I even leave the office! Here’s me finding a glacier this summer

Found these grumpy bebes

Please Share!! Who wants to work with BATS!? Recruiting a MS OR PHD student interested in assessing the distribution and habitat of South Dakota's bats w/ emphasis on the threatened ones! Possibilities for mist netting, transmitter deployment, & acoustic sampling!

Y'all what's better than mid-week baby otters?

Bunnies for the win! WE GOT THE COVER!!! 😍😍😍 Also accelerometers are cool for tracking translocation outcomes: https://academic.oup.com/jmammal/article-abstract/doi/10.1093/jmammal/gyad023/7097709?redirectedFrom=fulltext

Hi BlueSky! I work on tuning conservation & management of mammals (otters, bunnies, bats, the occasional leopard) & sometimes birds + their habitats
