Happy to announce #ACMELab is now hiring!
Looking for 3 PDFs to help with several projects.
If you are an analytical whiz with a good track record of publishing, interested in western CDN mammals, please apply!
We're fun and fully inclusive.

All in the name of science!
Check out these images of a few of our team members setting up camera traps at Upper Pitt River. The cameras will help collect important data on wildlife in the ecologically significant area.

This week's WildCAM feature includes amazing images from @WildCO student @MadeleineWrazej.
Madeleine’s research focuses on mountain goats in Banff and Yoho National Parks. Camera traps are used to assess mountain goat behaviour in areas exposed to varying levels of recreation.
Welcome to WildCAM Wednesdays!
Be sure to check in with us every Wednesday for some fantastic camera trap content from our WildCAM program.
Featured today: a black bear (Ursus americanus) in Nuxalk Territory / Bella Coola.

Big news! We’ve reached a major milestone - WildCAM is >200 members strong!
That’s 200+ people who’ve joined our community of practice. And what a community it is 🦬
Thank you for joining us to connect camera trappers, standardize data and - most of all - do better for wildlife
NEW PAPER ALERT! We developed and tested a method to estimate the abundance of unmarked populations using #cameratrap data. The best part? It’s intuitive and there is an easy workflow guide, including code! Follow along to learn more. 🧵https://t.co/ckIqEfd9Hj
New Researchers Revealed! Mitch Fennell, Masters student in the Wildlife Coexistence Lab @WildCo_lab at @UBCBiodiversity, explains his research camera trapping recreational and #wildlife activity in Cathedral Provincial Park. @fennell_mitch#biodiversity

And the final published version, available #openaccess here! https://t.co/wHpydzOsTc
We hope other ecologists can make good use of these and other tools to help us spend more time doing science, and less time clicking through endless photos of twigs and people!
Do you have camera traps set in BC or Alberta? Are you a member of WildCAM? Join us!
1. WHO WE ARE: WildCAM is a network of camera trappers, for camera trappers. We support effective wildlife stewardship in by fostering coordination, collaboration & sharing best practices🐐🐺 1/

Buried under a mountain of #CameraTrap images? Ever wondered how #MachineLearning might help speed up image classification? In our (@cole_burton @Chris_Beirne) new pre-print, we test an open-source model (#MegaDetector) on a recreation ecology dataset: https://t.co/RoeWjfSPFb
Super excited to share an article I wrote with @bcparksfdn about our camera trapping work @WildCAM_Network 🦦🦬🐻 thanks @ubcforestry for sharing 🌲 ask me anything if you’d like to learn more! https://t.co/AWH4Q4FKp5
Just back from the BEST 5 day traverse w/ @jamiefclarke, checking new high elev. cams Robin & @cole_burton set to better understand what grizzlies do in response to recreation in the S Chilcotin Mountains! Chill but stellar days filled w/ views & grizz sign! Cam trap pics to come
had a lovely time hiking south chilcotin mountains provincial park with @Taylor_Justason for @wildco_lab + robin naidoo! plenty of rocky passes, creek crossings, grizzly tracks, snow + dehydrated curries. picture taken by taylor
