Great reporting by Andie Bulman on snowshoe hares and climate change 🐰 🐰

Using GLMMs and LMMs? If you haven't read this paper, you should! A great summary of major issues we face with model selection (though our choices are still deeply imperfect/we have a long way to go)! Bottom line: hard thinking is always preferred. peerj.com/articles/4794/…

Hot off the press! Using camera traps, we observed that humans had a greater influence on deer return-times than competitors or predators in a mutliuse park. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thrilled to share our co-produced (Roland Willson Mateen Hessami @sarperotto @akmenzies @JessPopp Hebblewhite Lab @mprice_org) work published today in Science Magazine on braiding Indigenous rights and endangered species laws for culturally-meaningful recovery. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

NEW PAPER: Is activity or foraging risky for prey? Does prey activity, predator activity, or activity overlap drive predation rates? Our paper in Royal Society Publishing led by Shotaro Shiratsuru & Emily Studd examines these fundamental questions in predator-prey ecology royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
