I had a lot of fun interviewing for this story. Always looking to start conversations about how to live with our wildlife neighbors! Based on work from @jeffrey_haight and @uwi_network ! https://t.co/ukWstfx2jz
It's been six months since this paper came out so now it's open access. Check it out now if you have not, and I'll be talking about this paper at TWS next week as well!
Ever felt like the global landcover maps were a bit lacking in urban areas? We used the OpenStreetMap database to make fine resolution LULC maps. The beauty is OSM is vector-based so you can go as fine as you want. Now published in @WileyEcolEvol https://t.co/Z4yIC6GIWP
Today our Assistant Director of One Health @maureenhmurray (far right of photo), is in New York for the first National Urban Rat Summit! Dr. Murray was invited to the summit to speak about her rat research in #Chicago.
🧵 We are excited to share our new pub with @STOTEN_journal titled: "Widespread exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides among common urban mesopredators in #Chicago.“ This pub is OA for the next 50 days using https://t.co/S3tYWKjsIw (1/8)

We are very excited to have Dr. Tiziana Gelmi Candusso (@UrbanZoochory) to join our team! We’ve been collaborating for years via @uwi_network and are looking forward to do some really great human-wildlife conflict work across multiple cities with her!
Hey, Chicago! Are you a dog owner who visits Montrose Beach? ⬇️
If you’re an adult who visits the Montrose Beach area with your dogs, please take a moment to fill out our survey and help us understand how you and your pup use the beach. https://t.co/qQ7kktPRAk
Attending the Congresso Italiano di Teriologia (Italian conference on Mammalogy) in beautiful Pesche. Excited for a day of talks on mammals I know nothing about! (Delivered, reasonably enough, in a language I do not speak)
We'd be thrilled to discuss an application for this post-doc award with interested Ph.D students or recent grads. Our network provides amazing opportunities to produce high impact publications quickly!
The 2025 Biota awards application for post-doctoral research has been posted! We'd love to explore this possibility with people wrapping up their PhDs to co-develop a project that interfaces with all the data coming out of @uwi_network. Please share!

Check out this article to learn more about black-crowned night herons, one of the coolest wild species living @lincolnparkzoo, and be on the lookout for the herons who have GPS backpacks, which we use to learn about their foraging and migratory habits!

Urban wildlife exists all around the world. How can researchers at @LPZ_UWI work with researchers in other cities to share and compare data, and even work on collaborative studies? That's where the Urban Wildlife Information Network comes in https://t.co/Iok45QeNAO
Bats, rats, and coyotes, oh my! It’s an urban wildlife takeover ‼️ This week we’ll be #DivingDeeper into what it means to coexist with wildlife in an urbanizing world. Whether you live in an urban, suburban or rural area, you share your environment with wildlife!
We already started getting some great press for our recent @PNASNews paper, titled "Gentrification drives patterns of alpha and beta diversity in cities." Check it out!
