What will it take for elk to thrive once again in NE MN? On our first stop of the LCCMR site visit, experts @ForesterUMN of @UMNFWCB and Mike Schrage of @FondduLacBand discussed their #mnertf-funded study that helped inform @FondduLacBand’s plan to return elk to the region.

FW3108 at McCarron. Calm but cool. @UMNFWCB

The usual suspects & surprise guests were spotted on camera dining on elephant carcasses in @KWSTsavoEast. Joseph Bump's lab & #CabLab (@StotraChakraba2, @SmittyInNature) collaborated on a new pub (https://t.co/Yh3sXI8hw6) examining predator interactions at mega-carcasses.

Researchers spied on elephant carcasses with camera traps. Here's who they saw!

Also, if anyone is curious: I accepted the PPFP position @UMNFWCB and will be starting this fall. I'm so grateful for the opportunity and very excited to join the department!!!

The Bell’s Curator of Fishes, @erimystax, is retiring this year—while we’re sad to see him go, we’re so grateful for the legacy of inquiry, mentorship, and curation he will leave behind. Read more at: https://t.co/njEAJfWzPF

Dr. Elena West's team is leveraging acoustic monitoring and machine learning to identify red-headed woodpecker habitats around Minnesota. The goal is to train a computer to identify a queeah call, a territorial call produced by the birds. https://t.co/db6tY91Chb

[U of MN FWCB @UMNFWCB]

Wolves in northern MN are fishing far more than previously thought according to new findings from @VoyaWolfProject, showing the population's ability to adapt as their habitats change.

Welcome, Dr. David!

[Dr. Solomon David @SolomonRDavid]

From the mouth of the Mississippi River to the headwaters! Excited to share that our family will be returning to the Midwest where I’ll be joining the University of Minnesota @UMNFWCB!

@TheGarLab will continue, with new native fish conservation work too! https://t.co/mf6q08bGnC

[Dr. Holly Menninger @DrHolly]

Congrats to Dr. Sushma Reddy @phylodiversity, our @BellMuseum Breckenridge Chair of Ornithology and Curator of Birds, for well-deserved recognition at @CFANS Spring Assembly today as winner of Richard C. Newman Community Impact Award! 👏👏👏 #UMNProud

Welcome, Dr. Ford!

[Dr. Kassandra Ford @kassthefish]

I am incredibly excited to announce that I will be joining the faculty @UMNFWCB as an Assistant Professor and the @BellMuseum as the Curator of Ichthyology & Molluscs in Fall 2023! I cannot wait to continue my research on freshwater fishes and head back to the Midwest!

Using survey data collected from 1993 to 2018 from 312 lakes in Minnesota, @shadmahlum @UMNFWCB and colleagues uncover the role of light and temperature on the abundance of #walleye https://t.co/IT6nTvtq1D

[Holly Kundel Masui @Holly_Kundel]

Conservation Sciences graduate students had a productive and enjoyable writing retreat up in Cloquet! I'm very thankful to be in a program with such amazing individuals.

[U of MN FWCB @UMNFWCB]

Please join us in congratulating FWCB student, Gretchen North, who is one of the inaugural recipients of this public service scholarship!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Michelle and I are proud to join @BChesky in announcing the first recipients of The Voyager Scholarship, which supports 100 rising college juniors as they pursue a career in public service.

I can’t wait to see what these young people accomplish!

[Ellen Candler, PhD @offal_watcher]

Great conversation with two other science and hunting advocates. Listen here for a quick summary of my current and past research. @offal_watch @CitSci @mndnr @bha_mn @artemis_nwf @MNMasterNat @UMNFWCB @UMNExt @MNDeerHunters https://t.co/cuK3m1xoGu

While all grazing animals can improve grasslands, bison are less reliant on water sources & less likely to trample riparian plants, allowing fish & amphibian diversity to recover says #umn ecologist Joseph Bump. @UMNFWCB https://t.co/ZxOX8Qc6Co

[U of MN FWCB @UMNFWCB]

Lead researcher, Dr. Gretchen Hansen (@gretchen_H20), describes this project as an example of how managing local conditions can help mitigate the negative effects of climate change.

[CFANS @CFANS]

Lake-specific targets for watershed management are lacking. Researchers in @UMNFWCB identified lake-specific thresholds for protecting forested watersheds and estimated uncertainty in how individual lakes would respond to climate and land use change.

CFANS alumna Adina Allen (@UMNFWCB major) recently won a national award for her time in Alaska through National Student Exchange. Her work as an intern with @AKConnect2NtR provided an opportunity to educate the local community about the wonders and importance of nature.
