A friend of a friend sent this amazing video of whales off the beach in Ocean City this morning.

Big news! A team of former @natgeo editors and contributors (@Rachael_Bale @OlliePayneHere @rebersole) has started a new investigative wildlife journalism nonprofit called WIRE. Incredible that they are continuing this important work: https://t.co/xzZM4wDiLF

New study! We demonstrate a transatlantic flight for Vanessa cardui butterflies. An incredible feat for insects!

Check out my newly published article, linking declining populations of BTBW at low elevations to directional natal dispersal. Bad for low elevation populations, maybe good for climate change adaptation?

#Alabama leads the nation in #freshwater #biodiversity, with more species of freshwater #fish, #turtles, #crayfish, #snails and #mussels than any state! Check out these biodiversity maps that #ecologist Sean made using https://t.co/Nyeuf3OtjW and Natural Earth.

[Jeff Wells @Bird_Wells]

The Canada, U.S., South America connections and shared responsibilities are sure highlighted from these results!

[SCB @Society4ConBio]

There are 17 species of #wildfelines in Latin America, five of which are so little-studied that they’ve been confused for each other or other species.
Lack of funding + awareness has hampered efforts to study them and conserve the cats and their habitats.

There is currently a MacGillivray’s Warbler hiding under a Barbie Car in the Bronx.

Here's another ribbon map of a river; this time designed specifically for a receipt printer. Perhaps the most unnecessary thing I've ever made.

I became aware today that this @NatGeo article was published in July. It highlights the work of my lab with Veeries and their relationship with tropical weather. Thanks to @GregKahn & @Sarah_Gibbens. Enjoy. 🪺🌀

Led by new PhD Matt DeSaix, our latest paper uses advanced low-coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) to uncover the intricate migratory connectivity patterns of American Redstarts 📷 This helps us craft conservation strategies to preserve both numbers and genetic #Diversity

Vuelvo a trabajar con las imágenes de Sentinel-2 en esta región tan bonita pero compleja y me encuentro con un ❤️ en medio del canal.

¿Alguien sabría decirme en que lugar del 🌏🌍🌎está captada esta imagen?

🔵Habrá un premio para el ganador 😊😉

Tidal flat is heterogeneous habitat: sediment, benthic invertebrate, and #shorebird. Such heterogeneity is not random but relates to tidal movement, which means:
1 Upper tidal flat often most important;
2 SMALL #habitat_loss-> LARGE #bird decline.

Shellfish reefs increase the water storage capacity on intertidal flats locally and over extensive spatial scales
