New open-access paper! Mtns lions in/around LA @SantaMonicaMtns shift diel activity in response to human recreation. Lions in areas with higher amounts of rec shift from crepuscular activity to nocturnality and rest more during the day. 1/5

CDFW is proud to release the Black Bear Conservation and Management Plan for California, which incorporates the latest scientific tools and methods to conserve, manage and monitor black bear populations and reflects input from more than 5,000 individuals and groups.

Weasels are hard to detect, so researchers don’t know much about how their populations are doing. Researchers recently found that red meat is a good bait to lure the small mammals to camera traps.

I'm looking to hire a graduate student to examine plasticity and individual differences in movement and habitat selection of caribou to disturbance. Please see the attached ad and share!

Continuing to share these stories. Anyone calling these people “parasites” or cheering on these layoffs should be ashamed. This isn’t eliminating waste. It’s targeting people who get paid very little yet who are some of our most dedicated public servants protecting our National Parks and other public lands. And these cuts are putting those same public lands at risk.

These stories are heartbreaking. And also make me furious. Putting people and our wild heritage at risk.

Thank you @wildlifesociety for the nice article about our research!
WILDLIFE NEWS: In the greater LA area, mountain lions and recreationists use the same areas. Researchers found that while mountain lions can’t really move out of the area, they are adjusting their active periods to avoid people.

Mtn lions in LA deal w/ roads, habitat fragmentation, wildfires, & rodenticides- even small changes to activity may add stress to an already stressed pop. But their flexibility in diel activity likely helps support coexistence between lions and recreating people. 4/5
This coauthor team was awesome and featured a high school student and undergraduate! Most folks aren’t on social media but I appreciate them so much!!!! 5/5 @justinesmith

Thank you @CaltransDist7 for some amazing video showing the installation of waterproofing that is underway for the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing before adding soil on top.

.@OregonState researchers studied this tube sock-like skunk. It lives throughout the western United States but you'll probably never see it in the wild: beav.es/GkH
