For @hakaimagazine, I wrote about beach dogs, which are both shockingly harmful to coastal ecosystems *and* a wildly contentious political issue. Note: I am not w/out sin when it comes to letting my little killer roam free!
Let the angry emails commence.

A simple, non-invasive innovation could offer "a huge advantage" for scientists studying nocturnal animals. #UAlberta #FieldResearch #biology #ecology

Check out our new paper in @Ecology_Letters that looks at how balancing food acquisition and predation risk can drive demographic changes in population cycles...(Thread) @MJLPeers @akmenzies @ekstudd @ShoWhitecrane @lauramccaw @Phil_D_Walker @boutinlab doi.org/10.1111/ele.13975

SO excited to announce my first paper out today in
@Ecol_Evol that explores how mammals avoid predation during rest. Could not be more grateful to have worked with my phenomenal co-authors @DiseaseEcology and @roxannesbeltran

Check out this awesome interview/video by @akmenzies about our use of technology to study lynx.
This paper has been my favourite experience in science so far. A team effort from start (co-first author) to finish (sharing media).

A closer look at the secret lives of the Canadian Lynx! We’ll be speaking to @akmenzies, a researcher who took part in a study on just that! Listen in on #LetsGo!

A new study by researchers from #McGill, @UAlberta and @TrentUniversity provides new insight into the behaviour of the elusive Canada Lynx and a first look at how miniaturized technology can open the door to remote wildlife monitoring.

My first PhD paper with @McAdam_lab and @Newman_lab examining kin discrimination in @KluaneSquirrels was just published online today! Check out how we determined that caller stress does not influence kin discrimination as previously hypothesized.

Want to hear what canada lynx get up to in the boreal forest? Check out this soundscape that @CBCQuirks put together about the lynx work @RDerbyshire7 @akmenzies and I have been doing.
Have you ever wondered what you would get if you attached an audio recorder to a Canada Lynx?
Biologist @ekstudd did, and decided to give it a whirl. This week, she takes us through her favourite sounds captured by one of Canada’s top predators.

Over several years, @ekstudd and colleagues went out and tagged Canada lynx with audio recorders.
They’re only now starting to analyze the thousands of hours of data, but Dr. Studd agreed to share some of her favourite sounds they've heard so far.

How do you measure kill rates of small prey (<2kg) for individual predators? We found that both accelerometers and audio recorders are up to the task for Canada lynx. A thread with sample audio clips: 1/n @RDerbyshire7 @akmenzies besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…
Both technologies work well on their own, but together can allow for continuous record of hunting behaviour of an elusive predator that consumes small prey. We plan to now use this highly detailed data to unlock the mysteries of the lynx and snowshoe hare cycle. 8/n
Special thanks to @ShadhalaAsheyi for allowing us to complete this work within their tradition territory, and to all the technicians over the past 5 years that helped with the intense field work needed to validate both technologies. 9/9
