New paper in @WileyEcolEvol! We found that 29% of woodland caribou expressed spatial fidelity and 50% expressed habitat fidelity (i.e., used same habitat in sequential years) during calving. Older caribou were also more likely to express spatial fidelity. https://t.co/rEOfpRhnXz

Hot off the press! Using camera traps, we observed that humans had a greater influence on deer return-times than competitors or predators in a mutliuse park.

Check out our new paper in @Ecology_Letters that looks at how balancing food acquisition and predation risk can drive demographic changes in population cycles...(Thread) @MJLPeers @akmenzies @ekstudd @ShoWhitecrane @lauramccaw @Phil_D_Walker @boutinlab https://t.co/luBaBwBmqT

New paper out: Can antler cannibalism explain the origin of CWD among reindeer in Norway? Most reindeer in the affected population gnaw antlers on each other heads!!! see pictures and videos of the bizarre phenomenon. A theory of CWD origin is presented
