Hi new followers! I am a conservation biologist/quantitative ecologist studying birds across North America. I was recently asked what ‘one sky’ means to me & wanted to share my response below since it serves as my daily motivation. Excited to learn about your research too!

#EEBer Dr. Kayla Davis from the @ZipkinLab and @audubonsociety team up to protect the #blacktern: strategically expanding conservation and land management practices outside of their breeding habitat can be key for this species' #conservation

[Dr. Sarah Saunders @SarahPSaunders]

Excited to see that our @audubonsociety science team's 2022 paper in @ESAApplications was in the top 10% of downloads! Data integration + birds + migration = 🪄

Registration is open for a 4-day workshop 24-27 June 2024 @ Swiss Ornithological Institute in Sempach, Switzerland taught by Marc Kéry and myself on hierarchical spatial modeling of species distributions using spOccupancy and spAbundance. Details here: https://t.co/EhFQuG25Ma

The @ZipkinLab is taking #robinhood approach to #modeling: getting info from data-rich species to inform conservation of data-poor species. In a new study at @AnimalEcology, they explore how integrated community models help us understand rare or elusive species

The @DefraGovUK and England Wild Bird Indicators, that I have helped create @_BTO, have been published today 🥳 The results aren't great, but I have mixed emotions of seeing our hard work published using fantastic citizen science data @BBS_birds @WeBS_UK @ukrbbp @Natures_Voice 🐦

5-day workshop by Marc Kéry, Dusit Ngoprasert, Ngumbang Juat on "Applied hierarchical modelling of species distribution and abundance with R package unmarked and spOccupancy" in Bangkok, Thailand. Registration: https://t.co/U4oKHksZRc

[Jeff Doser @jeffdoser18]

Some exciting new functionality in spOccupancy is now available on CRAN including:

✅ Multi-species, multi-season occupancy models
✅Multi-species spatially-varying coefficient occupancy models

For the first time outside the state of Michigan, captive-reared Great Lakes Piping Plovers were released into the wild. Find out more about this recovery milestone for the species—and how @Audubon_GL & partners worked to protect the endangered shorebird. https://t.co/564RCokSRh

[Dr. Sarah Saunders @SarahPSaunders]

Were you involved in Great Lakes piping plover conservation this summer? Or do you just want to proclaim your love for these little shorebirds? Order your t-shirt today! All profits go to the UMN PIPL Conservation Team to support research & monitoring: https://t.co/YAU1Mr7rxt

Yes, long-distance power lines can kill birds.

But they're a hell of a lot better for the avian world than climate change.

New report from @audubonsociety calls for a massive transmission buildout to support solar and wind farms. My story for @latimes: https://t.co/Zlzxd0jTaq

[Bill DeLuca @WVDeLuca]

We @audubonsociety developed a new framework to translate hemisphere scaled processes, like bird #Migration, into local conservation actions.

People need to be involved in every step. A fancy map can only do much. Local capacity and interest is key!

The Northern Lights were visible from the University of Michigan Biological Station along Douglas Lake, just south of the Mackinac Bridge, overnight (July 22, 2023). Watch the @UMBS time lapse to see the colorful sky dance. #northernlights #auroraborealis

[Nicolas Gonzalez (nicosgonzalez.bsky.social) @NicoSGonzalez]

Some birds are more vulnerable to climate change, and some are more vulnerable to habitat loss. Then there are the particularly vulnerable that are getting squeezed hard by both. https://t.co/ZbhktvEQRR
