Journalists often ask me what “other beavers” are out there - meaning what other animals haven’t gotten the recognition they deserve for their ecosystem engineering prowess. I usually say bison & prairie dogs.

Adding Arctic foxes to that list now too! Great work, @SJohnsonBice!

Scientists are asking for help to track BC's wolverines. If you come across a den, or signs of a wolverine, take a picture, vacate the area so as not to disturb the animal, and submit the info to https://t.co/F0wP6AHU1b

@wild_ecology I had a similar experience last year. I wasn't sure if I was hearing things!

[Abby Keller @creature_keller]

@takeatoothbrush Best of luck!

I saw my first aurora a few days ago! And three times in a row at that! This is the best shot I managed. Many thanks to the kind photographer who happened to be out who showed me how to adjust my phone camera settings!

Merry Christmas, folks!

More updates to come, but I also had a lot of fun working with Sally over the summer and am now helping out with the more computer-based end of things here and there :D It's been a lovely experience and I've learned so much!

UND Fisheries and Wildlife Biology alum and current technician Abby Keller is putting her skills to use measuring vegetation as part of a drone - wildlife detection project with graduate student Sally Yannuzzi. #FieldworkFriday #UNDProud @creature_keller

I'm still alive! I am currently an educator intern at the International Wolf Center in Ely, MN! I've long admired the work of the IWC so it's a great honor to be here. To celebrate, here's Grayson scent rolling and looking like a proper goofball

[Abby Keller @creature_keller]

Still on the hunt for grad school. If anyone is in need of a master's student I'd love to chat! I'm most interested in anything relating to pred-prey dynamics, spatial ecology, and behavioral ecology! Bonus points for boreal forest or tundra!

[Abby Keller @creature_keller]

It's been a long time since I've logged on to twitter. I hope everyone is well!

Sequences have arrived, and some cursory glances hint at interesting developments... I'm so excited to start really digging into them this week!

[Abby Keller @creature_keller]

In #hamradio news, I worked my first School Club Roundup with UND's Student Amateur Radio Association
It definitely takes a little adjusting to go quick and not get lost in conversation, but I made lots of great contacts and it was a ton of fun!

[Abby Keller @creature_keller]

@ontimeduncan Thank you and will do! I received word this afternoon that we just received our sequences back after some setbacks last week. I'm so excited to take a look!

[Abby Keller @creature_keller]

Haven't had a whole ton to update on lately, but I'll be presenting at NDCTWS on small mammal mtDNA next month and I'm pumped! Waiting on sequences yet and am super excited to see how smammals like our dear meadow voles compare to what we know about muskrats!
