“We collectively acknowledge that the University of Wyoming occupies the ancestral and traditional lands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow, and Shoshone Indigenous peoples along with other Native tribes who call the Great Basin and Rocky Mountain region home (1/2).

The 4th @USGS report on #ungulate migrations is LIVE! I am so proud to have contributed to this huge collaborative effort featuring 33 herds of deer, elk, & pronghorn migrating across the Western US! 🙌

Are you or someone you know looking for a postdoc? Consider joining my lab at University of Wyoming where we use imaging and computer vision to study animal behavior in complex natural ecosystems. Collective behavior, salmon, migration, machine learning! https://t.co/TYkCibj5zj

[Hester Brønnvik @hester_bronnvik]

Excited to share that our new paper on the link between experience and independence for a collective migrant is now out in @CurrentBiology ! https://t.co/DcCtmVlKDB

Stoked to have this out with an all-star cast of scientists - thanks for leading us, @ScrapNaturalist!

Doubly excited to have this as our FIRST Schell Lab pub! All the feels today ❤️

[Christine Wilkinson, PhD 🌈 @ScrapNaturalist]

Excited to share our new @PaN_BES publication about the social-ecological drivers of human-coyote interactions in San Francisco, using a decade of @SFACC coyote reports.👣🐾

With @TaliCaspi @Lauren_Stanton_ Deb Campbell & @UrbanSchell !

Looking for ways to evaluate model fit when conducting step-selection analyses or when fitting hidden Markov models? Check out our new preprint! With @signer_j and Smith Freeman #rstats

[Wyoming Migration Initiative @wyo_migrations]

If you're in the Jackson Hole area and, like us, are excited about this migratory species – the Great Gray Owl – join JH Bird & Nature Club, Tuesday Oct. 10 @ 6:00 pm at Teton County Library for a talk by @UWyoPiEE alumnus, Katherine Gura, PhD, of Teton Raptor Center.

[Ben Goldfarb @ben_a_goldfarb]

Cool new #roadecology study by @mp_poulin et al., suggesting that elk dynamically balance risks of highway-crossing with benefits of high-quality forage. Fascinating to consider the difficult decisions and tradeoffs that wild animals make every day around our infrastructure.

🚨🚨🚨!!!ALERT ALERT!!! 🚨🚨🚨
@DanMacnulty and I are recruiting a Ph.D. student to lead research on food web ecology and trophic cascades in northern Yellowstone! 🐺🦌🌱 (Based at @QCNRUSU). Please check out the ad if interested, and share if you can!

[Roxanne Beltran @roxannesbeltran]

Looking for a PhD opportunity? This could be you! 👇🏽

My lab group is searching for 2 new PhD students interested in the demography and movement ecology of elephant seals to join us at UC Santa Cruz!

Application deadline Nov 1.

[Roxanne Beltran @roxannesbeltran]

My lab group is searching for a new 🚨POSTDOC to work on life history trade-offs or fitness consequences of environmental change using an incredible long-term mark-recapture dataset on elephant seals at @ucsc. Review date 8/24. https://t.co/1sBENc9dcT

[Atle Mysterud @atle_my]

New paper out: "Wherever I may roam—Human activity alters movements of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and elk (Cervus canadensis) across two continents" congrats to @SteffenMumme for a great effort!

[Melissa Cronin @melissa_cronin]

Come work with me at @FieldFutures to build the movement for safe, equitable, and inclusive fieldwork !

This is a part-time position but tons of opportunities to grow with the program. Please share!

[Ines Fürtbauer @InesFuertbauer]

We did it! We quantified grooming in baboons using accelerometry and machine learning! https://t.co/4JVjKzgjA8

[Anna Ortega @migration_anna]

Incredibly excited to share some recent work from @UWyoPiEE on migrating mule deer! This was a huge effort that required years of data and would not have been possible without all coauthors and collaborators from the @BLMNational and @WGFD!
