Did you know #mongoose are more closely related to hyenas than they are minks?! @HiBiologist and her team at #USDA are making headway on their #toxicant trials to help eliminate these pest in Hawaiʻi.
See what else USDA is doing: https://t.co/LQLaeN6Rdt #NREMSeminar
Warning: From Jan 10 - Mar 1, 2022 the park will be implementing its Rat Management Plan project in partnership with the USDA, Animal & Plant Health Inspection Services, Wildlife Service. The toxicant in use poses significant health risks to pets if consumed.

After 7 months of watching an ʻAkeʻake, Band-rumped Storm Petrel, burrow I have been rewarded with a chick getting ready for a life at sea.

My 4th & final paper from my master's research is now published & online!
Read about the unique philopatric behavior most seabirds exhibit and my search to learn more about what drives their dispersal across the seas
Mahalo to my coauthors @HiWildlife@j_ringma@PacificRimCon
Presentation by Charles van Rees - happening at 9:45 AM in "Symposium 298: Management challenges and successes in freshwater dependent ecosystems: connections among streams, wetlands, and estuaries"!

@CnsrvHI talk at #HiConCon2020 ~29% of nesting habitat for #endangered waterbirds here in Hawaii will be lost due to sea level rise, but(!), restoration of lo‘i (indigenous flooded field ag) can more than compensate (+172%) for these losses!
Seabirds are effective samplers of the marine environment - including PIT-tagged salmonids (primarily Coho in the Humboldt Bay). @oreothlypis putting together predator-prey models to examine spatial relationships across colonies #PSG2020#diet
A Christmas Miracle!!
My population genetics work on the Band-rumped Storm Petrel in Hawaii has just been accepted for publication
@thePeerJ !! So stoked! My master's work will finally be shared with the world :) Big thanks to @HiWildlife and the rest of my coauthors @ToBoLab
