(1/5) New study in Journal of Applied Ecology! RMRS scientists aimed to help managers predict future wolf movements and potential conflict areas ahead of wolf reintroduction. Regions with well-connected habitat, high social tolerance, and lower livestock density topped the list.
Predicting dispersal and conflict risk for wolf recolonization in Colorado 🐺 Following a vote to reintroduce gray wolves to Colorado, USA, researchers applied a SAMC framework to predict movement and potential conflict hotspots 📊 Kathy Zeller, PhD 🐾 @mditmer George Wittemyer 🧵1/4
"CROSSINGS is... a powerhouse of a book, a comprehensive and engaging study of the many ways that roads damage natural habitats." So appreciate this strong The Washington Post review by the legendary @DavidGessner. washingtonpost.com/books/2023/10/…
Our paper on how #CitizenScience is addressing the global issue of bird-window collisions is the cover story for the new ESA Frontiers issue! And btw that's a Chinese Blackbird, Turdus mandarinus, a top window collision victim in China Read it here: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
New paper alert! I'm delighted to be able to present the first article published from our joint project between Uni of Exeter's ESI and University of Exeter Physics and Astronomy and University of Exeter Astrophysics Group, modelling #artificiallight #ALAN, #lightpollution, and its #ecological impacts. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
Please RT! Postdoc position with George Wittemyer and myself at Colorado State focused on movement ecology and ecophysiology. - 2 years+ of funding - Enormous amount of novel data in hand - Will consider remote work - Due June 24 Description here: shorturl.at/e2yuj
Our paper just published in Current Biology with a great team incl Mark Ditmer Jesse Barber akiba authors.elsevier.com/a/1jFlE3QW8S6E… Wildlife likely hear us more than they see us but how are they responding to the noise we generate while recreating?
At the risk of bald self-promotion, shouting out this recent paper, co-authored with Mark Ditmer, re: impacts of recreation on wildlife. News release here: bit.ly/3VLlPq6 Thought it might be of interest Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) @borenbears Corryn Wetzel Hillary Rosner Rene Ebersole
Happy and proud to share that the last paper from my dissertation, “White-tailed deer population dynamics in a multi-predator landscape shaped by humans,” is published in Ecological Applications 🦌🐺🌲👩🌾 Reach out if you’d like a copy, and follow along for a 🧵 doi.org/10.1002/eap.30…
