Happy to share that our paper on small felids co-occurrence in Bhutan is finally out

[WildCRU, Oxford @WildCRU_Ox]

New study presents a multi-species occupancy model for three small felids in Bhutan: Asiatic golden cat, marbled cat & leopard cat. Occupancy varied by different environmental and anthropogenic factors, highlighting the need for heterogenic landscapes.

Happy belated leopard day! 🐆

@KarmaChoki_KC is literally counting spots for leopard conservation. Here are a few of the 200+ leopards in her thesis project

Julian date is the number of days since January 1, 4713 BC.

Ordinal date is the number of days since January 1 of a given year.

The Julian date for today is 24088. The ordinal date today is 87.

These things are not the same!

Celebrating our conservation heroes and all the women in my life!

@Rainmaker1973 Today years old 😭

[Karma Choki @KarmaChoki_KC]

There’s a first time for everything- TAing, handling small mammals, using VHF telemetry, building track plates from scratch! Learned all these this week from pros @BillSeverud @AECheeseman

[Bill Severud @BillSeverud]

Having tons of fun teaching all about mammal research techniques with this wonderful crew this week for @SDStateNRM 230: Natural Resource Management Techniques at #OakLakeFieldStation 🐭 🐰🐯🦌🐿️🐾

[Karma Choki @KarmaChoki_KC]

Always thankful to @WildCRU_Ox for broadening our horizons! 😇

[WildCRU, Oxford @WildCRU_Ox]

We were able to support four 2022 WildCRU International #Conservation Practice #Diploma alumni with career development scholarships. From Bhutan, Madagascar, Peru & Ethiopia, the recipients used the funds to continue their research & further contribute to #wildlife conservation

You don’t wana miss it if you are attending #IMC2023

[Amanda Cheeseman @AECheeseman]

If you will be at #IMC2023 & want to free yourself from ArcMap crashing then join us!

We'll cover common GIS tools, make pretty maps, master for loops, and get some digital data downloads w/ APIs.

[Karma Choki @KarmaChoki_KC]

How cool would it be to see species richness across the landscapes of SE Asia? 🐘🦌🦓🦣🐒

Another amazing MS opportunity at #CheesemanLab @SDStateNRM 🦇🦇

[Amanda Cheeseman @AECheeseman]

Spread the word & come work with us on Small Mammals 🦇🐁🐇around the Badlands!!

Looking for a MS student to start within the next year @SDStateNRM

[Lisanne Petracca @LisannePetracca]

This will be a super rad opportunity to estimate ocelot & other spp density using camera traps AND scat detection dogs. Please spread the word!

[Amanda Cheeseman @AECheeseman]

Hey Wildlife twitter! (Please RT)

We are hoping to improve AI detections for semi-aquatic mammals (otter, beaver, muskrat) but need more training data. 🦦🦫

Does anyone have trail camera photos (examples below) you could share?

[Karma Choki @KarmaChoki_KC]

Congratulations to @Lone_badger for winning the best M.S wildlife grad student award @AECheeseman 🎖️🏆 #proudlabmate #theCheesemanLab #NRM #SDSU
