While a super quick trip, had an amazing time speaking at @uafairbanks @ArcticBiology seminar series about 🦁behavior and comparative research 🤩 Huge bonus: a mini-reunion with friends (also previous labmates), and made new connections😍

Super chuffed with our new OA paper led by the amazing @offal_watcher, co-authored by @BillSeverud & JBump. We investigate how 🐺cues 💦 affect 🦌behavior across with-wolf and without-wolf habitats, and what that means for human hunters🔫 🧵onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

A highlight of some really cool work I’ve been involved in lately! Working with Leech Lake, Red Lake, and White Earth communities and agencies to develop tribal CWD management plans. Really thankful for the trust and warm welcome I’ve received along the way. – at St Paul, MN
Tribal Nations in MN and @umnCVM researchers have formed a groundbreaking collaboration to stop the continued spread of CWD in and near Tribal lands. Together, they’re developing one of the first tribal CWD management plans in the U.S. z.umn.edu/9112 #UMNResearch

Happy #wildlifeWednesday with animals who dine with their interspecific "friends!" We wish we knew the topic of dinner conversations here😁

Our cameras capture a lot of guts and gore, which we love to see 😁 but also some incredible beauty from across the state, enjoy!

#BaldEagles are beautiful, iconic birds and our national emblem but they're not too regal to pass up scavenging when the opportunity arises! While known for their fishing skills, they're also adept scavengers and are frequently caught on our offal cams

Up for a #wildlifeidentification challenge? We have an amazing crew of 6,300+ citizen scientists who help us ID our project images. Each photo gets viewed by multiple people to reach an ID consensus but some still end up as "unknowns." Give these your best guess!

Incredibly destructive, record-shattering precip event ongoing in @YellowstoneNPS. Evacuations, stranded towns, bridges wrecked, extensive roads closed. Lamar River's 81-year-old gauge crested 17 ft: 2 more ft than the "operational limit" and 5 ft more than the record!!! 😳😳😳

Will you be in the Twin Cities area this weekend? It's a perfect time to get involved in #CityNatureChallenge and help record all the early spring insects, wildlife and plants. From your backyard to your back forty, there is nature all around us!
Join us for #CityNatureChallenge this weekend! All observations in the 13 county metro area will count, and we're in it to win it this year! Don't live in the Twin Cities? You can still help by joining the project and making identifications. inaturalist.org/projects/cit…
