Key paper and approach for the Crown of the Continent system at the heart of the @Y2Y_Initiative by @kzeller and an amazing team!
New paper! Species-agnostic models are handy when we don't have the species-specific data we need to model functional connectivity. We build off of McGarigal et al 2018 to measure 'ecological connectivity', which merges many species-agnostic approaches bit.ly/4b6AMIe

New Paper Alert: it was a pleasure to join and be welcomed by this fantastic team! Our study reveals the 3,400 km-long Yellowstone to Yukon region ranked the most intact and least developed mountain system globally, but near last in % of lands protected. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…

NEW PAPER: We followed 76 grizzly bears in a human-dominated landscape to explore coexistence. What we found surprised us. Tons of mortality, tons of conflict, and yet also tons of bears—3x denser than Banff National Park. How could this be possible? 🧵 conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…

The freshness of fall awakens my soul. Complete with calm waters, an osprey catching breakfast, mergansers out for swim lessons with mom, and a couple fisherman- ah, life along the Bitterroot River

NEW PAPER: Using genetics on >1000 grizzly bears we uncover scale-dependent impacts of distance, human activity, & canopy cover on grizzly bear genetic connectivity. Valuable insights for conservation efforts! 🐻🌲 lead by Eric Palm + team (incl @kzeller)! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

A 20-mile hike in the Tetons rewarded bumble bee researcher @EllenKeaveny with a special Bombus occidentalis sighting. Keaveny knew it was the western bumble bee because of its “cute white butt.” bit.ly/43VHug4

Species transport in action! Yellow mealworms (5!), an introduced species in North America, popped out from the packaging material on a computer monitor recently shipped to me - crazy to think how easy this occurs across our global markets.

Excited to have our latest paper published in @ScienceMagazine. A huge advantage of a 15+ year field experiment is being able to explore treatment effects as background conditions are themselves changing with ongoing climate change.
Large herbivores slow Arctic tundra diversity losses associated with sea ice decline, a new Science study finds. The results support the idea that encouraging herbivore diversity in the tundra could temper some of the impacts of climate warming. scim.ag/36d
