Incredibly excited to share some recent work from UW Program in Ecology on migrating mule deer! This was a huge effort that required years of data and would not have been possible without all coauthors and collaborators from the Bureau of Land Management - National and Wyoming Game & Fish! nature.com/articles/s4146…

We did it! We quantified grooming in baboons using accelerometry and machine learning! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Cool new #roadecology study by Marie-Pier Poulin et al., suggesting that elk dynamically balance risks of highway-crossing with benefits of high-quality forage. Fascinating to consider the difficult decisions and tradeoffs that wild animals make every day around our infrastructure.

If you're in the Jackson Hole area and, like us, are excited about this migratory species – the Great Gray Owl – join JH Bird & Nature Club, Tuesday Oct. 10 @ 6:00 pm at Teton County Library for a talk by UW Program in Ecology alumnus, Katherine Gura, PhD, of Teton Raptor Center.

Excited to share our new People and Nature publication about the social-ecological drivers of human-coyote interactions in San Francisco, using a decade of SF Animal Care & Control coyote reports.👣🐾 With Tali Caspi Lauren Stanton🦝🧩🐺 Deb Campbell & Christopher Schell ! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… (1/5)

Stoked to have this out with an all-star cast of scientists - thanks for leading us, Christine Wilkinson, PhD 🌈! Doubly excited to have this as our FIRST Schell Lab pub! All the feels today ❤️

The 4th USGS report on #ungulate migrations is LIVE! I am so proud to have contributed to this huge collaborative effort featuring 33 herds of deer, elk, & pronghorn migrating across the Western US! 🙌 Report: pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2024/5006/… Press Release: usgs.gov/news/national-…

Excited to share that our new paper on the link between experience and independence for a collective migrant is now out in Current Biology ! doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… @anflack Elham Nourani MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social

Are you or someone you know looking for a postdoc? Consider joining my lab at University of Wyoming where we use imaging and computer vision to study animal behavior in complex natural ecosystems. Collective behavior, salmon, migration, machine learning! kogerlab.com
