We are the Rare & Elusive Species Lab under Kyle McCarthy at @UDelaware. We monitor the most difficult species to find in the wild.

Rare and Elusive Species Lab alum @AriTheEcologist gave a great talk on her MS bobcat connectivity research, and current member @biologistimo shared results from her PhD work on snow leopards. #TWS2022

[RESL @RESLudel]

Join us in congratulating lab member @biologistimo for receiving the prestigious @UDelaware William J. Benton award for her Ph.D. research! We are proud of her collaborative work with @PantheraCats studying snow leopard phylogeography and population genetics in Central Asia.

[RESL @RESLudel]

Congratulations to lab member @AriTheEcologist on her successful thesis defense seminar! Her master’s research focuses on dispersal barriers and expansion challenges of bobcats in New Jersey. We are excited to see you continue in carnivore ecology research!

[RESL @RESLudel]

We sure miss seeing our students in person!

[Imogene Cancellare, PhD @biologistimo]

My PhD advisor @RESLudel allows students to bring pets to their mammalogy lectures (barring student health/fears). This pic from 4 yrs ago today always makes me laugh.

Lab member @Hasan_Rahman is presenting his PhD research proposal today for the department of entomology and wildlife ecology at @UDelaware on tiger movement in the Sundarbans in Bangladesh! Tiger 101 is in session!

Lab member @AriTheEcologist is talking about her connectivity research on New Jersey bobcats! #TWS2020

[Ariana Cerreta @AriTheEcologist]

Submitted my recorded poster description for #TWS2020! If you are attending, make sure check out my office hours if you would like to chat more about my project.

My lab, @RESLudel, does extensive international research, and as a result some of our cohort are international students. They deserve to be here, but also: you cannot care about wild cat conservation without safeguarding the people who do this work. Make the calls. #StudentBan

Happy #MommyMonday from #puma momma Rupestre and her cubs in Patagonian #Chile where Panthera’s Director of Small Cats Dr. Wong captured this photo. We study how we can promote #ecotourism to protect these #bigcats in the “End of the World”. Learn more: https://t.co/8M729k6eyn

Lab member Hariyo 'Beebach' Wibisono's PhD research focuses on tiger population ecology and landscape connectivity in Sumatra, where he has worked for many years leading implementation of the IUCN's Tiger and Habitat Conservation Program.

[RESL @RESLudel]

Lab member @Hasan_Rahman is a Wildlife Conservation Society Starr Tiger Conservation Fellowship awardee researching how various anthropogenic, landscape and climatic factors affect tigers and their prey in the Sundarbans of Bangladesh.

Hello from the Rare and Elusive Species Lab!

[Imogene Cancellare, PhD @biologistimo]

If you enjoyed my thread on #TigerKing and want more tigers in your life, consider following my lab @RESLudel. My lab mates research tiger spatial ecology in Bangladesh and tiger-human conflict in Sumatra.

Discovery Daily Planet features lab member @biologistimo’s work on #snowleopard genetics with @PantheraCats!

[Daily Planet @DailyPlanet]

How do you study the elusive snow leopard that lives in the high elevation mountains of Central Asia? Well for wildlife biologist & landscape geneticist Imogene Cancellare (@biologistimo) it usually means searching for and examining cat poop! #ScientistFridays

[RESL @RESLudel]

Our lab benefits from a variety of mentoring styles.

[Imogene Cancellare, PhD @biologistimo]

Today Rio is overseeing @ArianaCerreta’s work on bobcat habitat suitability modeling.

Introducing our new lab mascot, Osa!

[RESL @RESLudel]

We love having current and past RESL lab members working together for conservation.

[Imogene Cancellare, PhD @biologistimo]

When your last shipment of #snowleopard scat samples is an excuse to meet up with some great colleagues: @RESLudel, @TomMcC9419, and @sm_kachel. Excited to continue working together for snow leopards in 2020! @PantheraCats

[Byron Weckworth @byron_weckworth]

New research paper lead by the incredible @Sahmoli, she is a star! With contributions from many amazing colleagues:

Defining priorities for global snow leopard conservation landscapes.

“By banning the #trophyhunting of these #smallcats, the State of #California is taking positive steps towards the protection of #bobcats and providing a model for other states to follow," -- Dr. Wai-Ming Wong, Director of Panthera's Small Cats Program. #SelfieSunday @pumapix

#Halloween is right around the corner and this #spookyseason, we’re all about #blackcats. Why are some #wildcats black and others aren’t? What exactly is a #blackpanther? Celebrate #NationalBlackCatDay with our new Wild Cats 101 #FieldNotes blog: https://t.co/GaAeINY1ZN

[Panthera @PantheraCats]

In honor of #InternationalSnowLeopardDay today we've compiled some of our most popular blogs about the elusive feline known as the "mountain ghost." Read up on our work so you too can be an expert on #snowleopards: https://t.co/DPk82FauVo
