Did we use the Taylor Swift Speak Now color palette for our figures, yep, yep we did. It only felt fitting for this important message! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Great honor for Amy Shipley, PhD to be nominated for best IBIS Early Career Paper! We could use your vote for our paper 'Snow cover constrains the behavioural flexibility of a winter-adapted bird'

Recruiting a post-doc and graduate student to study climate-induced bird range shifts in Midwest. We will work with NGOs and agencies to evaluate whether their protected areas can reduce the vulnerability of birds to climate change! For info: zuckerberg.russell.wisc.edu/opportunities/

🚨🚨🚨 NEW PAPER out today in Proc B! The Royal Society
Responses of wildlife to climate change are typically quantified at the species level, but are we missing important variation in thermal sensitivity over space (species ranges) and time (seasons)? royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

We're hiring! ECo at UMass Amherst is looking for a TT Assistant Professor in Wildlife Ecology (broadly defined). Stay tuned for the official job ad next week. If you have any questions, please reach out to me (SC chair) or committee members Brian Cheng (he/his), Graziella DiRenzo, and Maina Handmaker.

📢 Postdoc opportunity -- join the MW CASC community!

UW-Madison seeks a postdoctoral researcher for a two-year position focused on adaptive capacity and climate resilience as relates to the management of fisheries and wildlife in the Midwest.

Check out our paper! We investigate the role of thermal refuges on mediating the effects of extreme heat on mature forest individuals and populations.

NEW PAPER! 🚨🚨 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…
In seasonal environments, migratory species can track environmental conditions throughout the year, going out of their way to experience the same weather all year long. Others stay put & experience a broad set of seasonal conditions. 1/7

RT! Working with Zach Peery we are seeking a PhD student to lead an exciting study on the ecological dynamics and management of barred owl invasion across western North America. Check it out:

🚨 The last chapter of my dissertation is now online and Open Access! 🥳

We show how a winter-adapted species uses snow as an important microrefugium, but warming winters and loss of snow cover may limit this important behavioral adaptation.
