Congratulations Karine Aigner, Wildlife Photographer of the Year! 🏆 In her bee-level close-up, all except one are males and they are intent on mating with the single female at the centre. Like most bees, they are threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. #WPY58

Follow the scientists leading this long-term study of Canada Jays in Algonquin Park to hear about their ongoing work: @FuirstGlance, @KyleParkinson8, @kyko1120, @RyanNorrisSci & @perisoreus1!

[Wildlife Photographer of the Year @NHM_WPY]

‘Since the 1960s, the Algonquin population of jays has been studied by monitoring territories and following individual jays marked with leg bands. Alarmingly, researchers have watched this population decline by over 50% in the last few decades.’

[Wildlife Photographer of the Year @NHM_WPY]

‘Researchers have gathered at Algonquin Wildlife Research Station for over 78 years to study the natural world.

This long-term monitoring can reveal how populations are changing over time, especially in response to climate change.'

Keep up with the ongoing study on these salamander-eating pitcher plants by following @AlgonquinWRS & project lead @Amanda_RaeS!

[Wildlife Photographer of the Year @NHM_WPY]

‘For a plant that is used to capturing relatively tiny invertebrate prey, a juvenile spotted salamander is a hefty feast!

These northern pitcher plants in Algonquin Provincial Park are the first to be found regularly consuming vertebrate prey!’
