Forecasting Dynamics of a Recolonizing Wolf Population Under Different Management Strategies We use a novel spatially explicit projection model to evaluate how different management strategies and system uncertainties affect the recolonization dynamics of wolves. We found that scenarios relat....

OPT provides short-term work visas for recent international graduate students in the US, allowing them to work after their student visa expires. It's a pipeline for jobs in medicine, biomedical research, education, technology, engineering, and other highly skilled work.

This is very, very, bad.

🐆🐆 TWO M.S. POSITIONS AVAILABLE IN MY LAB!! Focus will be bobcat and coyote dynamics in an ocelot pre-reintroduction landscape. Come join the fun. Deadline is June 1 for an August start 🐆🐆

Whoop! Going to be great!

Are you going to #ICCB2025 in Brisbane? Come take the Geospatial Analysis in R all-day workshop on Saturday, June 14. This workshop was developed by me and @amandacheeseman.bsky.social in the COVID era, and now has some brand-new updates from @thespeclab.bsky.social! Join us! 🗺️🤓🦘

She’s been running some advanced SECR and occupancy analysis and quite good at the publishing process!!

Anyone in the wildlife ecology world in need of a good data analyst/ lab/ project manager or someone to help polish up those outstanding pubs? I have a brilliant graduating MS student looking.

Photo from some of her work for attention!

So emotional seeing my first-ever teaching evaluations! 😭 Creating all the materials from scratch was tough, but incredibly rewarding.

I put a lot of thought into what students need in the AI era—sharing the complete class materials here in case they're helpful: clsong.github.io/EEB_C234/01_...

Excited to say that the stickers of all #2025MMM contestants are finished and up on the store. Check them out here: brushesandbiomes.printful.me

I feel so honored to be mentioned by #2025MMM. Spotted skunks are the best

The 2025 March Mammal Madness bracket

March Mammal Madness fans, good news! @natickbobcat.bsky.social created a Starter Pack of folks involved in #2025MMM. I also converted it into a Bluesky List so you have both options. Happy species research!

Had nearly the same thing happen once (only 10/12-2 not shown). Clearly was very excited lol

The foundations of America’s prosperity are being dismantled Federal scientists warn that Americans could feel the effects of the new administration's devastating cuts for decades to come.

"The US took nearly a century to craft its rich scientific ecosystem; if the unraveling that has taken place over the past month continues, Americans will feel the effects for decades to come."

Baby tapir Ume had her first encounter with the water dish and it’s adorable! 🥰

We should all be mad but for some additional context on where to direct the anger Universities and schools received this letter- basically they risk losing all federal funding if they don’t comply with the DEI orders: www.ed.gov/media/docume...

What kind of research do they consider "wasteful DEI"? Reading through the project descriptions (column N) and it's project grants studying:
-fentanyl overdose prevention
-earthquake disaster preparedness
-renewable energy
-kidney disease (and other healthcare topics)
-disability aid product design

How do you get followers on here, post fun bear videos? 🐻

Lucky enough to visit Antarctica over the holidays and met the best seals- figured Bluesky needed to meet them too

Oh for sure! It’s much easier to agree to review a paper 3-4 weeks from now- that’s future Amanda problem vs one due next week

Missed the poll but 21-28 days would be my preference. It takes a bit of time to be able to work it into the schedule

In-line with some Ichthyology/ornithology individuals on here, I want to do 25 days of #BatMas this year!

Follow this thread to learn about bats everyday! 🦇 🧵

Bluesky post count mentioning research is at 500,997.

Mentions of research on Bluesky have crossed a half million posts as of this morning.

There is still space left in the #biodiversity #redistribution starter pack ⬇️ If you are working on or interested in biodiversity responses, aka #species #range #shifts & #community #composition #changes, to global change drivers, I'd be happy to add you in the list 😀

I’d love to be added!

Anyone find any good starter packs for nature / space photographers? (Preferably not full of AI).

Missing my spectacular landscapes and skies portion of my feed from the other place…

Come join us!

We have such a fantastic and supportive group of faculty and I think there is potential to teach a variety of courses specialized to your interests with this one! 🦌 🌳🦜🦞🐠

As promised, here's a list of women doing research in Ecology & Evolution.
You can pin it to your home and then follow these wonderful scientists by clicking the about tab.
If you want to be added just comment or DM me.
Please share far and wide :)

Antarctica Day is on Dec 1st each year. It marks the signing of the Antarctic Treaty, which sets aside Antarctica as a continent for peace and science.

To help celebrate, here’s a photo I took a couple of years ago, of a seal which had clearly got the message about peace.

Happy #AntarcticaDay!!
