Spotted: ecologists making directed foraging movements across the St. John River. Looking forward to the #EcoEvoEnto2019 closing social after a great few days of science! #MovementEcology #HabitatSelection @CSEE_Meetings

@ce_regan gave a great talk on the sex ratio of sable island horses. Female mortality, potentially associated with the costs of reproduction, is leading to a male bias in adult horses #CSEE2019 #EcoEvoEnto2019

The pace of life syndrome: fish in less complex food webs live fast and die young. Great talk by @bragrah from @uofgGradStudies #EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

Did you know that chimney swifts aren’t capable of walking? Neat preliminary work by Courtney Le Roux on networks of swifts in Nova Scotia #CSEE2019 #EcoEvoEnto2019

Jean-Philippe Parent tested the effectiveness of using vibration and parasitoid wasps in controlling agricultural pests #EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

“Plants are doing a heck lot more with each other than just competing” JC Cahill emphasizes that plants are social individuals and exhibit anticipatory behaviour #EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

Why are elk selecting to move to certain habitats rather than others? @newedi_elk discusses results from habitat selection models and emphasizes that density and resources interplay at a fine level #EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

Great work by @webber_quinn on the social networks and movement of caribou #CSEE2019 #EcoEvoEnto2019

Red fox are encroaching on the tundra but appear to not to compete for marine prey, a source of food for the declining arctic fox. Jim Roth enthusiastically presents what he has learned about foxes near @ChurchillNSC. #EcoEvoEnto2019 @CSEE_Meetings @CSEE_SCEE

Fun insect fact: backswimmers are predacious true bugs that overwinter as adults under the ice. Interesting talk by @icecoldecology #EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

[Koley Freeman @koleyfree]

@DrHaydo gave a interesting talk on fish shifting diets (and where they feed) between seasons #CSEE2019 #EcoEvoEnto2019

[Koley Freeman @koleyfree]

Great thread including information on NSERC funding for students and post docs. For PDFs, even though you can only apply once, career stage is accounted for so it’s not always best to delay applying. #phdlife

[CSEE_SCEE @CSEE_SCEE]

Ward (NSERC): Clock starts ticking for PDF applications after your degree requirements are completed (typically thesis defense + revisions accepted), NOT graduation date. #EcoEvoEnto2019

“Winters are harsh and stressful but are important in maintaining biodiversity” @bailey_mcmeans shares her love of winter and interest in what fish do under ice in an engaging talk #EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

[Koley Freeman @koleyfree]

‘Whatever varies the most, matters the most” Murray Humphries discusses how hares can survive the Yukon where temperatures vary from -40 to +30C. Great work by @ekstudd and @akmenzies!#EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

[Koley Freeman @koleyfree]

Daily activity is driven by environment and influenced by season. Great talk by @ekstudd on her work on hares, lynx and squirrels.#EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

[Koley Freeman @koleyfree]

Sydney Wilkinson highlights that the life history of fish species influence their diet across seasons #EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

[Koley Freeman @koleyfree]

“Ecologists are a little afraid of the cold” Timothy Fernandes calls for more winter data collection while discussing changes in fat storage and body size in fish across seasons #EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

[Koley Freeman @koleyfree]

Did you know that 75% of spruce budworm survive the winter?Great talk By Eric Moise on the overwintering ecology of budworm. #EcoEvoEnto2019 #CSEE2019

Population declines are influenced by season and habitat loss in the ‘quintessential’ vertebrate, the fruit fly. Great talk by @jbburant in the Vertebrate Conservation session! Also, check out that awesome whale shirt! #CSEE2019 #EcoEvoEnto2019
