🔥New Long Term Study 🫎Hebblewhite Lab found that elk changed their migratory behaviour over time. Exposure to predation risk by wolves and bears drove long-term changes in migratory patterns, not exposure to high-quality forage during migration. 📄doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

WE'RE #HIRING! Seeking a postdoctoral scholar with expertise in fisheries modeling (finfish and/or benthic invertebrates) to evaluate the effects of predators, including sea otters, on food webs on the California Coast. 🦦🦀📊 Apply at recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02661 by Feb 15th.

So EXCITED to announce our new paper supporting TrackdAT - a +5 year effort to collate metadata from ALL primary acoustic telemetry articles in the world! Check out the article RB.gy/pkw2iu and website trackdat.org

"Migratory species unite us." UN Environment Programme GIUM is excited to take part in the #CMSCOP14 in Samarkand where we are bridging ungulate migration data with conservation policy and planning!

"Tracking data allows us to literally ask the animals: where do you go and how do you get there?" @wyokauffman at #CMSCOP14. We believe data driven maps are a powerful tool for conserving wild migrations. Learn more here: cms.int/en/gium Convention on Migratory Species (CMS)

Fresh off the press! Read our massively collaborative effort combining #cameratraps 📸, #dung 💩, and #GPS 🛰️ to uncover a new understanding of what drives zebras, wildebeests, & gazelles 🦓 in their annual migration across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

FINALLY an answer to the age-old question of which came first- the zebra or the wildebeest? 😃

Sneak peek into my talk for #bls8tokyo. You're looking at 25 juvenile European honey buzzards migrating for the first time. Delta T (colors) is a measure of uplift and the arrows show the wind direction and strength. Some are better than others at resource tracking for sure!

From trash to treasure: we’ve just launched a new tracking initiative to understand how urban dump sites impact the movements of Africa’s avian giants 🛰️🙌 #TrashTalk #MarabouStorks National Zoo @MuseumsofKenya Iridium Kenya Bird of Prey Trust

I'm thrilled for this project to fill gaps on marabou storks' movement ecology in E. Africa. This 🦤 bird👇already completed an incredible roundtrip journey from Nairobi 🇰🇪 to western Somalia🇸🇴! A big thanks to collaborators and Waterbird Society funding for making this possible!
