The first chapter of my dissertation is now published Open Access in @Ecology_Letters!
We found that density-dependent habitat selection alters the food-safety tradeoff, with implications for community interactions.

I'm sold! Great thread for piquing my interest enough to learn a new tool.

Wow. Very interested in diving into this one.
why did migratory behavior👣 evolve in ungulates🦓🦌🦬? phylogenetic evidence suggests that the evolution of migration was driven by living at high latitudes🌏and consuming grass🌾, and evolving migration caused ungulates to evolve larger bodies📈 (1/2) nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
I really enjoyed teaching this course with @signer_j for @Physacourses ! It was a great group, and I think we all got a lot out of it!
A big thank you to everyone who joined us this week for the first edition of our #MovementEcology in R course 🙏
Congratulations to the instructors @signer_j & @bsmity13 for delivering such a fantastic course!🥳💪

a bit of #animalmovement, a bit of #animalpersonality, a bunch of #metaanalysis @BehavEcol and still a long way to go!
This does not sound like an effective band-aid for traffic issues. If these tags should be part of the general season drawing, then fine. But to make this change for a single year as a short-term fix for wait times does not make sense.
Because of increased public interest in elk hunting, we are proposing to add general-season elk permits to the big game drawing for one year. (In past years, these permits have been sold online and over the counter.) Learn more: j.mp/3CJkioO
This is a great perspective.
We need better metaphors to replace programming being "easy" or "hard".
Programming is like baking:
(1) You need some basic grounding in technique, ingredients, and how an oven works.
(2) A recipe you found online on a blog or cooking site probably doesn't cover (1).

Whoa!
The Utah Wildlife Migration Initiative has seen surprises from the #wildlife wearing GPS tracking collars. A collared doe in Rich County was recently killed by a collared cougar and then scavenged by a collared bear! More about the initiative: go.usa.gov/xMfPJ #Utah

Wow, super cool!
You should probably take a look at your data 🤔
Have you seen this by @revodavid? Same mean, sd and corr, but rather different data to say the least 😀

This seems like a very useful resource!
Created an online course on population modeling in ecology, comprised of instructional videos w/ associated data & R code. All freely available on github: github.com/gbarrile/PopEcoMo…
I'm not super active on here, so please RT/share w/ others that may be interested. Much appreciated!
I wish I had more faith in people's common sense, but I unfortunately don't. Seems like there is a fireworks tent on every other corner.
Keep your celebration from becoming a conflagration this summer by following firework rules and regulations. Swipe through to learn more. #FireSense #WildfirePrevention #FireYear2021

Unbelievable! Except there's proof!
It's happened again — a wolverine has turned up in Davis County. The wolverine raced past the front of a house in west Layton this morning. Two people walking on a trail in the area also saw it.

I definitely need this!!!
Super excited to announce the launch of Sound ID for Merlin! This feature will help you identify bird sounds in real time from your phone! We currently cover 450+ species from the US and Canada, with more species and regions to follow. Check it out! merlinbirdid.page.link/sound…

This came out of a great collaboration when I was still in South Florida. Nice to see a project that was a long time in the making finally see the light of day!
A new study describes the home range & habitat use of invasive #BurmesePythons in Florida's #Everglades
