Had a fun reunion with my Master's supervisor Dr. Stan Boutin Boutinlab in Madison, thanks to the unexpected 10-day fieldwork delay!

Snowshoe Hare Activity Levels Not a Factor in Risk of Predation by Lynx | Trent News trentu.ca/news/story/367…

Coyotes, bobcats, wolves, and cougars oh my! Thanks @ChrisDarimont for the Perspective and coauthors @CalXCunningham Taylor Renee Ganz and Twitterless others Fear of large carnivores amplifies human-caused mortality for mesopredators 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…

Fascinating and important work testing whether prey are most at risk of predation when they are active (spoiler: maybe not). One of my favorite reads this year!

Great coverage of our recent paper in Journal of Animal Ecology by Dr. Aaron Wirsing!

NEW PAPER in Oecologia Springer Nature: we examined how prey traits (morphological defense and energetic constraints) mediate the food-safety trade-off and resulting activity patterns, by comparing winter activity of snowshoe hares and porcupines. rdcu.be/eHIlN
