Today our first #SnapshotUSA #data paper dropped in @ESAEcology -- We collected #cameratrap data from all 50 states with the cooperation of 150+ authors and over 800 students with 1509 camera trap sites across 110 camera trap arrays. (1/n) esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/…

REALLY EXCITED about out recent @NSF-funded work on #mammal #guts! We re-analyze them as functional #traits (they obviously are) but also as proxies for community assembly. #ecomorphology #intestines #nogutsnoglory

Extremely excited to say that the final chapter of my MS thesis was just published open access in Ecology @ESA_org (doi.org/10.1002/ecy.44…)!

Holy shit, this “American girl” ad from @senecaprojectus is amazing!!! Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.

Thank you Discovery Place in downtown Charlotte for hosting our outreach related to our NIH funded project outreach - Bat Immunology Training Education (BITE). Over 200 visitors to our booths in the first hour ! We will continue to do this every third Saturday of the month.

Debate & disagreements can help #conservation, by helping us all think about our positions & what we prioritise. But that should not descend into hatred & abuse: we should all stand up against that. My piece on this - hope you agree @paulakahumbu & others dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/20…


Congrats to @HerreraWildlife on an exceptional #PhD defense. Looking forward to continuing to work together on #SnapshotUSA work @NaturalSciences in 2025!

At long last I’m happy to announce that I successfully defended my dissertation on Friday at @EnstUmd!! Many thanks to my advisor @MeLlamoRooster, my colleagues in the @URBANxNATURELab and @MullinaxLab, and to my supportive family and friends! Now for revisions, then I’m #PhDone!

This one's been a long time coming, but very pleased that our latest paper is now out in @ESAMonographs! Herbivore regulation of savanna vegetation: Structural complexity, diversity, and the complexity–diversity relationship doi.org/10.1002/ecm.16…

Excellent work @Bogoni_Eco What a veritable tour de force in understanding #mammal extinctions at the site and metacommunity levels right across the Neotropics and what that means to potential ecosystem services @UEAResearch onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ae…

I thought I knew a lot about foxes, but the cameras we set at Thacher State park @NYstateparks revealed some new behaviors, so I called in @mike_cove to help me decipher them. youtu.be/hBQabwqnCNA?si…

Our @NCState Mammalogy class visited the collections @NaturalSciences and mapped out color variation in fox squirrels using a map drawn on the floor in chalk - such cool color morphs in the Southeast

Really important thread by @DanChallender Trophy hunting bans are often driven by stated #conservation concerns, so examining the evidence is vital. TH not a major threat to any species (& can have benefits), so import bans are unjustified & disproportionate re #conservation

UK hunting trophy ban unjustified. A new study, published today, concludes that the proposed UK Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill, discussed in the UK Parliament (2022-2024), could do more harm than good for wildlife. @UKLabour Govt committed to a similar ban. 🧵 1/10

Celebrating #ResearchMonday for #BlackMammalogists Week by sharing some of my recent favorite camera trap photos. Camera traps are an excellent way to understand how animal behavior and habitat preferences may change following fire📸 @HastingsReserve @UCBORR @ Quail Rdige Reserve

Are you a wildlife ecologist who’s tired of visually assessing activity overlap plots to see how one species affects another’s activity? Well do I have news for you! We recently developed a model to quantify such effects AND the model allows for predicting activity patterns!
