I am a quantitative, avian, landscape ecologist with @USGSCoopUnits and faculty in @aucfwe at @AuburnU. Tweets/likes don't represent anyone but me.

Fun with #ornithology data. Which species of #forest #birds have the worst habitat, as defined by the technicians who had to do the veg surveys? Did your study species make the list? RT to save your colleagues from making the wrong choice for their next experiment! #AOSMember

New Mexican jay paper just dropped! Jays remember a complex foraging task after more than 3 years and this facilitates foraging performance of naive group members. #animalcognition #longtermmemory #sociallearning #openaccess #smartbirds @SciReports

Out today: geographic location matters when it comes to edge effects. Useful implementation of species distribution models in defining "habitat" quantitatively to test fragmentation impacts: https://t.co/QiMzuDvrxU @JonathonValente @ForAnimEcolLab @PacificSeabirds #murrelet

@MJVanni @miamiuniversity Thanks for saying that @MJVanni! I know I’ve been disappointing you for 20 years since I left the zooplankton microscope behind, so it’s nice to hear you’re not too embarrassed claim me 😁

[Matt Betts @MattBetts11]

The habitat fragmentation debate has become “locked in”. Time to for us all to move forward and provide consensus recommendations for policy makers (of course a Canadian would say that?) Bravely led by @JonathonValente https://t.co/xwji9bMhAF

@Delta you can help by sending some folks to assist the 50 people in line at SeaTac.

[Jonathon Valente @JonathonValente]

@anyadoc @dr_asadnaveed Wow, yeah, absolutely. We could probably do several weeks on AI.

[Jonathon Valente @JonathonValente]

We're hiring a research assistant (4 years) to coordinate a project examining land management impacts on biodiversity. This is an awesome opportunity to collaborate with tons of folks at @aucfwe #wildlife #conservation #EcologyTwitter to apply: https://t.co/I0SfcVDooQ

[Jonathon Valente @JonathonValente]

One week left to apply for this awesome opportunity at @aucfwe If you're excited about #birds, #science, and #conservation, we're excited about you. Please send us your materials!

Dr. Chris Lepczyk and I are hiring a PhD student in @aucfwe to look at changes in #bird distributions on state-owned lands (@Outdoor_Alabama). Job posting available here (https://t.co/65YaNlSvbR) Please share! #wildlife #conservation #ornithology #QuantitativeEcology #BirdTwitter

Dr. Lana Narine and I are hiring a remote sensing MS student in @aucfwe to look vegetation/landcover changes on state-owned lands (@Outdoor_Alabama). See posting here (https://t.co/ufwfEEqtKD) Please share! #wildlife #conservation #RemoteSensing #QuantitativeEcology #Ecology

Really proud of this research I spearheaded while at the @SMBC with @selvaorgco. Expanding the options for tropical coffee farmers to protect biodiversity while improving profitability is one of the more important projects I've worked on.

This week myself, @MattBetts11, @alex_pigot, Rob Ewers and David Orme published in @Trends_Ecol_Evo an opinion paper on the *Macroecology of Landscape Ecology*
Here're a few thoughts on why it matters for #BiodiversityLoss and #conservation

Have you seen this recent addition to our Ten Simple Rules series yet?
From Zitomer et al., "Ten simple rules for getting started with statistics in graduate school" - check it out here! https://t.co/OuUJ0METSm

Shade-grown coffee provides habitat for tropical birds, but it doesn't support all species all of the time; land-sparing will help! Our exciting new @SMBC & @selvaorgco cross-continental collaboration is out! @PeterPMarra @ScottSillett @pipridae #AOSMember https://t.co/I8YFKXNnT9

[Jonathon Valente @JonathonValente]

Easily the most analytically challenging project I've ever worked on. Have a look if you want to learn about brilliant science orchestrated by @kbrenmc or see mixed effects Cox proportional hazards models with time-varying covariates in action!

[Kelsey McCune @kbrenmc]

My favorite experiment from my PhD is now published and open access! Check it out to see whether social and asocial species perform differently on a social cognition task: https://t.co/x92tHEE3pO

“Despite their solitary nesting habits, marbled murrelets are still a sociable bird.” Scientists test the use of artificial calls to attract the threatened seabird to new nesting habitat.

They are constructing a bike path outside my "office" and I just listened to construction workers argue for 30 minutes about the location of a broom. Not great for productivity... #workingfromhome

Better than the cover of the Rolling Stone. Thanks to the journal Ornithology for selecting a murrelet for their cover shot this month (paper by @JonathonValente) @OregonMurrelet @ForAnimEcolLab @AmOrnith
