📌New Publication

Led by @ArashGhoddousi, our study on 52 protected areas (PAs) in the Caucasus shows challenges in preventing rangeland degradation from overgrazing. Multiple-use PAs were notably less effective than strictly protected ones.

Did you know that sound can reveal the health of an ecosystem? Restored oak woodlands show higher biodiversity, reflected in the vibrant soundscapes of birds and insects. Our new paper led by @MPersche published in Oecologia https://t.co/sYUkliHi6F

Mapping land cover in diverse landscapes is tough, especially when small objects are involved. Using 30-m Landsat data has limitations, particularly in capturing urban areas. But there's hope! How?

@Saskajanet @skwinnicki Yeah unfortunately it often means their own young don’t make it :(

@LeaGrie Is there any way you could use study skins (or similar)? On our campus we have a window-collision monitoring program and some of the casualties get prepped for the zoology museum. Do you have access to a similar program you could save some unfortunate song sparrow skins from?

[Ashley Olah @BirdOlah]

@nepeteaa I’m partial to Kirtland’s warblers, but I’ve been working with them for 10 years now :)
