Our study highlights complexity of animal behaviours, and that there are no silver bullets for coexistence. It's clear animals are working hard to adapt to our ever-expanding presence, and we need to do our part to ensure we can keep sharing space with the wildlife we cherish..8/

🚨We need a field tech! One got into grad school (yay!) so leaving the project early (sad). Help us eval the efficacy of range riding to reduce carnivore conflicts. Work with ranchers, riders, academics, NGOs, & more in gorgeous places in the western US. DM/email for details.

New paper about home range and habitat selection of wolves 🐺 in a human dominated landscape Philippine Surer Stiftung KORA Wildlife Biology

Excited to share our new paper on boreal mammal spatial networks in industrializing landscapes! doi.org/10.1002/eap.30… We explored how disturbance effects emerge through direct responses and species interactions. Thanks to @wildco.bsky.social on Bluesky at University of British Columbia , Cole Burton, and collaborators

I have a feeling this will be one of the more fundamental weeks in my PhD training! Very grateful to all the instructors who made this happen!

Wolf reintroduction on Isle Royale in Lake Superior has affected the communities of smaller carnivores. Researchers used three years of data covering the time before and after wolf reintroduction, to better understand behavior and range changes. hubs.li/Q02K0Lg50

Need a relative abundance map for North American Mammals? We created 25 of them as part of our recent paper, I'll share them here, might be useful as a covariate for your own work. LMK what you think. - here's American Black Bear drive.google.com/file/d/1vBilwP…
