PhD candidate | Bump Lab @UMNFWCB | Large carnivore competition and predator-prey dynamics in Yellowstone.

[Daniel Stahler @drstahler]

In Yellowstone’s predator hierarchy, cougars must navigate competition with wolves & bears. A new study from the team finds prey size influences predation patterns, food theft & shapes coexistence in unexpected ways. Check it out!

A global assessment of large terrestrial carnivore kill rates. https://t.co/HbXYSfdmte

Super excited to share the first published chapter of my PhD - A systematic literature review & synthesis of large carnivore kill rates, i.e. rate at which carnivores kill prey. 1/n

📢new preprint📢
Co-led by the awesome @wes_binder & @JRabe21 and featuring amazing researchers from my lab+Yellowstone group, we delve into the unique ‘benefits & burdens’ for mesos from apex carnivores in Yellowstone 🦊🐺 Cameras, collars, observations! We have it all 📷🛰️📊⬇️

@danirosefreund If you’ll be doing a lot of hiking in them, I like Kenetrek Mountain Extremes, 400g or 1000g insulation depending on how cold your feet get.

Pricey but very durable and last forever with proper treatment

Colleagues from 🇨🇦 have just published a response in @AER_ESE_BES to our 2014 @JAppliedEcology paper showing that our method is flawed & systematically underestimates abundance.

Important new paper from @BrennaJCassidy et al. shows that hunting outside the northern boundary of Yellowstone National Park in Montana adds to, rather than replaces, other sources of mortality for wolves primarily living in Yellowstone NP & Wyoming. https://t.co/EWaza1bQYA

Super cool work on animal activity pattern modelling by @Fabi_Iannarilli @ISEC_stats_ecol
Looking forward to the "how-to" for the hierarchical activity modelling @FiebergJohn @science_action @martinwikelski #statisticalecology #models #AcademicTwitter

Finishing your masters to start a PhD

[Cecilia Di Bernardi @c_dibernardi]

Our twitter-less Camilla Wikenros did it again! See our latest publication on moose harvest and how it is related to predation, forestry and land productivity. Interesting differences between the bordering countries Sweden and Norway🫎🐺🐻🇸🇪🇳🇴https://t.co/piCIz4AqNF

Happy and proud to share that the last paper from my dissertation, “White-tailed deer population dynamics in a multi-predator landscape shaped by humans,” is published in @ESAApplications 🦌🐺🌲👩‍🌾

⛰️ Carnivore Monitoring Field Tech positions in Oregon & Idaho ⛰️

We are hiring 3 field techs to conduct non-invasive carnivore surveys on National Forest this fall, focusing on improving monitoring methods for rare mesocarnivores.

Really nice paper by a bunch of star ecologists - striking that the best cougar habitat is in the east where they have been extirpated. Come on back kitty kitty! @kzeller

Mule deer are in long term decline and we don't know why. Joel Ruprecht mined the literature to find 722 estimates across 8 vital rates. Using these vital rates and their correlation structure, he ran a life stage simulation analysis to see which most explain population growth /1
