Thrilled to share our recent publication in Urban Ecosystems! 🦝📷 We studied how raccoons and bats use Florida's stormwater sewer systems and what factors shape their occupancy. Read more: https://t.co/wfUWS7aY8i … #PhDLife #Ecology #UrbanWildlife #Nature

Gainesville's storm sewers are a zoo. Research led by PhD student @DrewIvory352 (when he was an MS student in @UFWildlife) documented 35 species using our stormwater pipes. Congrats Alan and team for having their research covered in the NYT!

Wildlife in urban stormwater sewers—what’s going on down there? This article provides a wonderful overview on my previous research on the topic.

✨️New Staff Spotlight ✨️

Meet our newest staff member, Dr. David Mason! David is the new plant ecologist, focusing on investigating groundcover community assembly by blending theoretical plant ecology with wildlife and disturbance ecology.

Welcome, David!

We found 35 species of wildlife, from mammals to birds, navigating Florida’s stormwater sewer systems in unexpected ways. Check out our new paper:

Aldo Leopold, proto-island biogeographer. Mind-boggling what this guy just intuited about nature, and how subsequent research so perfectly corroborated those intuitions.

A new @SFFGS_UF study found that wildfires are increasing across the Eastern U.S 🔗 https://t.co/EpdVOdW38X.

@UFIFASWFREC's @DonovanTori who led the @USDA_NIFA-funded project hopes it will help support an increase in #PrescribedFire management.

Something new yesterday while checking #SnapshotUSA cameras in @GainesvilleGov parks w/ @UFWildlife interns… Very large water oak overturned, sending tree with our #cameratrap skyward… Data went from ground-level photos of marsh #rabbits to overhead shots of white-tailed #deer!

@B_Abramowitz @UF @UF_COE Congratulations! Very well deserved!
