Publication dropped today! We investigated how novel colorations in different wildlife species elicit varying responses in people influencing human-wildlife interactions. Major thanks to all my co-authors especially my co-lead Sam Kreling. Great job!

#NewPaper : Working with a huge team of 220 co-authors representing 102 projects in 21 countries, we analyzed data from 5400 #cameratraps to ask how #wildlife behaviours changed during the COVID-19 “anthropause” nature.com/articles/s4155… ..1/

Excited to finally post about this paper in Paleobiology I’ve been working on with Isaac Krone and Ryan Yohler

It’s our first order approximation of what could end up in the fossil record of the future 🦴⏰🐸

my 1st dissertation chapter is out in Environmental Science & Technology Journals! We not only show that redlined areas face high levels of environmental hazards, but within their own city, they face disproportionately higher hazards than non-redlined areas.

check it out!

Calling all Black ecologists/energy policy researchers: UBC Forestry & UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems are hiring 2 scholars engaged in research related to Food, Forests, and BioFuels as part of a Black Faculty Cluster Hire Initiative. More details included below. Please share and apply, apply, apply!

🚨 updated preprint! 🚨

in this piece, I stitch together queer theory together to consider how (oppressive) societal systems can shape the social & ecological niche of (urban) wildlife. hopefully coming to a journal near you soon-ish :)

check it out!

Great news: I’m opening a research group to study behavior, ecology, and biomechanics of Opiliones and other arthropods from Central and North America, and beyond (?). We’ll be based at UIC Department of Biological Sciences
Contact me if you want to hear more! And feel free to spread the word.
Pura vida!

if u spent any time scolding people for expressing palestinian solidarity, you enabled this. history didn't begin last week. can't even google 'palestinian death toll' without a dozen different years autofinishing. it never was 'a complicated situation.' it was always one sided.

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 !

Join us in the Zoology department at the University of British Columbia! We are seeking to fill a tenure-track teaching faculty position in Biostatistics and Data Science.

Details here: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25566 Happy to field questions.

Actual, real dystopia. They’re trying to make all resistance illegal.

The final boss in grad school isn’t your defense, or filing your dissertation, it’s getting your university to finally give you those last reimbursements it still owes you.

Does anyone have a good shape file of the San Francisco Estuary? Asking for me 🥺

🚨Graduate student position(s) available!🚨
The Inclusive Conservation Lab at UBC (Inclusive Conservation Lab) is recruiting graduate students to conduct coastal wetland ecology and conservation research beginning in the Fall of 2024! See the attached flyer for details. Please spread the word!

Hanging out at #IMC13 ? Come through to the Behavipt technical session this morning in Tikahtnu A to see your boy talk about two chipmunk species and their very different behavioral approaches to their changing habitats! Talk starts at 12:15!

Shoutout to Nyeema C Harris for an amazing plenary challenging researchers to think expansively and creatively about how best to tackle the carnivore biodiversity crisis, as well as affirming our responsibilities to the human communities we work with. #IMC13

Mammal peeps, I’m finally in Anchorage for #IMC13 ! Ill be giving a talk later this weeks so stay tuned, but otherwise if you want to chat all things behavior, climate change, and chipmunks let’s link up!

Peep this! 👇

So excited to share this book project with y'all! This has been a labor of love for Max and I, with a ton of rockstar contributors.

Check the link in Max's original tweet to pre-order a copy!
