Very excited to (finally!) see our paper out in @NatureEcoEvo showing how spatial memory predicts whether, and where, pheasants are killed by predators! nature.com/articles/s4155… (thread!) 1/

(1/6) Wild pigs are expanding across N. America and could be used as prey by predators. But, pigs can be big, mean, and more dangerous than native prey. So, when do cougars🐈prey on invasive pigs🐗rather than deer🦌in California? Let's See! #ForagingAndMovement #AnimBehav2023

One Monday in late November, biologist Rob Serrouya got an alert for a female caribou’s possible death. The radio collar had slipped into mortality mode; six hours gone by without any movement signals. He knew it wasn’t a malfunction, so he set out to find the caribou. 🧵

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. doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…

Hopping on to congratulate my friend @ronan_hart on defending his master’s today! Holy CRAP, MY MIND IS SO BLOWN. Amazing work! And I am so excited for your next adventure as a space use ecologist in NM 🥹❤️ Don’t leave too soon.

How to decolonize conservation? Many steps needed, one is recognizing the diverse perspectives of First Nations across the lands. There is not a pan-indigenous relationship with nature. The relationships are local, related to place, and distinct says @mateens22

Presenting my masters work at #TWS2022 was so rewarding! Feel free to reach out if anyone wants to chat all things pronghorn, habitat selection, or predictive modeling!
