@DrPardi @PREAUX_FISH Not sure of the rate, but the magnitude of collecting is much less than in the 20th century.

@zachbbionerd For this reason we don’t include the actual submitted ms, we just format it differently or use a version with very minor edits.

@tblanchfield I was 16 when my mother’s father died. His wife died years earlier. My father’s parents died long before I was born.

@alyb_batgirl @Paleowin I think taking time to teach about the racist and conquest origins of the terms and discussing with class what would be the best way to talk about ecoregions is just as important as banning the words.

[Lee Fitzgerald @ConservHerpsLab]

@alyb_batgirl @Paleowin Americas is also colonialist in origin. One can really go down a rabbit hole with all this language.

@snakeymama @wild_ecology I looked into flipping my class and realized it had been flipped already for last 18 years!

I’m proud of Mickey and lucky to have him in the lab, EEB, and ABS!

@MaerzLab So great. And I hate how politicians will use and abuse the term peer-review to suit their political agenda, whatever it is.

@alaurenoconnell It’s a very interesting question, because even if it’s a low percentage of the total it can still represent a big pattern and influence.

[Lee Fitzgerald @ConservHerpsLab]

@alaurenoconnell Most TT people I know did not have a parent who was a professor and most professors I know do not have kids in academia.

[Lee Fitzgerald @ConservHerpsLab]

@niksroach If only that were all that’s wrong with academia...... wonder where those fees go?

We modeled connectivity based on GPS collar data from 15 elephants in the Western Okavango Panhandle of Botswana (data from @TheECOEXISTproj) using #Circuitscape. (all eles collared with appropriate permits/approvals from @BWGovernment and @TAMU) 3/7

Excited to share a new paper from my PhD out in Biological Conservation!

Does higher probability of wildlife movement (as modeled thru connectivity) correlate with patterns of conflict? 🐘🇧🇼🌱
