Thrilled to share my third first-author paper from my master's work with @albrechts-h.bsky.social and @jeffcbowman.bsky.social - this time diving into ectoparasite community dynamics of North American red squirrels! 🐿️

Excited to announce the publication of the first chapter of my PhD in Biological Conservation! We evaluated individual behavioral variation and its implications for delineating intraspecific units for the conservation of caribou. Read more here:

Mixed strongyle parasite infections vary across host age and space in a population of feral horses | Parasitology | Cambridge Core Mixed strongyle parasite infections vary across host age and space in a population of feral horses

The first paper from my PhD is out in Parasitology! Using DNA metabarcoding, I show patterns of parasite infection in Sable Island horses!

It's open access, so go check it out!

Its about time i moved this list of animal behavior related job boards and listservs over here πŸ¦‹ It was made in 2020 so could probably use some updating. If you know of sites to add let me know! linktr.ee/animalbehavi...

Hi everyone! I’m a molecular ecologist and semi-recent PhD graduate from UAlberta, where I examined population structure and quantitative genetics in bighorn sheep. Now, as a postdoc at UCalgary, I’m using genomics to enhance an augmented breeding program for caribou in Jasper National Park.

Hi everyone! I'm Sina, a PhD candidate at the University of Calgary. My research focuses on equine gastrointestinal strongyle parasites, examining their molecular diversity and characterizing them using advanced techniques like nemabiome metabarcoding alongside traditional morphology.

Hi everyone, I’m Katie! I’m in my final year of a bachelors degree in Biological Sciences at UCalgary. I’m interested in wildlife biology and love getting involved in research projects within this field. I’m hoping to pursue grad school in the future!

Allow me to re-introduce myself! I'm a PhD candidate @ U Calgary working on caribou ecology, focusing on evaluating movement behaviour and habitat selection using GPS collar data in Western Canada. My general interests include applied conservation, animal behaviour, & taking sub-par wildlife photos

Hi Bluesky πŸ”΅
Glad to appear in this new social zone! I'm Charlotte, working as a 3rd year Ph.D candidate at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in University of Calgary on woodland caribou genomics and microbiome in Western Canada. I'm interested about wildlife conservation and population ecology.

🌟 Hi everyone, excited to join the BlueSky community! I am a wildlife biologist interested in the little things that run the world (in this case, macroparasites, viruses, microbes). I am currently working on my PhD at the University of Calgary to investigate the gut microbiome of bighorn sheep 🐏

Hello! I'm Micky, a PhD Candidate at the University of Calgary studying the ecology and evolution of parasites in Sable Island horses using DNA metabarcoding. I spent 3 summers on a deserted island as a glorified poop picker and amateur horse photographer.
