SquirrelMapper

A collaborative project studying the impact of urbanization on coat color in eastern gray squirrels. Researchers at @sunyesf @hwscolleges @yale 🌰

I’m excited to announce some updates on our SquirrelMapper website and new ways to get involved in our #citizenscience research on #urbanevolution! 🐿️ https://t.co/DYjOt3zIdX [1/7]

Live in the NYC or DC metro areas? Interested in contributing to research on urban biodiversity and squirrels? 🐿️🐿️🐿️ Here’s how you can help! Together we can crack this nut! 😂 #communityscience https://t.co/sPa3UluZtv

We need your help! Spread the word. #squirrel #urbanevolution

We're looking for #squirrel tissue samples! Specifically eastern gray squirrels to study population genomic structure and introduction history in cities. DM or email me if interested in contributing! @wildlifesociety @Mammalogists @LITC_urbanevo @ConBiology @ESA_org

The best kind of friends find dead squirrels for you AND text you about them. Thanks Linelle for always looking out for me.

And NYC people, please let me know if you find a dead squirrel. I have collection permits & I'm gathering data for a new project.

Thrilled & grateful for an NSF award to examine mechanisms of #UrbanEvolution with James Gibbs & Gisella Caccone. We’ll study the relationship between urbanization & squirrel coat color with field experiments, genomics, & citizen science. @squirrelsevolve https://t.co/JKpldYG7hK

If you live somewhere where S. carolinensis is found, especially in the northeastern US, you may have noticed that there is conspicuous variation in coat color. There's some cool citizen science that can come out of this, and potential lessons on evolution for 2° and 3° students

We just uploaded 7500 new photos of squirrels to SquirrelMapper on @the_zooniverse. Please help us classify the color of these squirrels! https://t.co/Y9UDlJ9v0S

Together we can crack this nut! Sharing Squirrel Mapper 🥜🐿 #CitizenScience on #SquirrelAppreciationDay! The @squirrelsevolve proj has options on @inaturalist & @the_zooniverse Excellent for exploring a number of science concepts in the classroom! https://t.co/a1Bbadpnga #citsci

[SquirrelMapper @squirrelsevolve]

Great write-up of our #CitizenScience project on the evolution of coat color in #squirrels. Thanks @Kmwinchell and @LITC_urbanevo!

New post about how natural selection in cities favors black morph Eastern Gray Squirrels featuring the work of @squirrelsevolve. https://t.co/aAzH0gpkTM

@SquirrelCensus We 🖤black #squirrels too! Here's a look at their North American distribution from our SquirrelMapper project with @inaturalist and @the_zooniverse. Our map isn't as cool as those from @Evelina_Jud : ) Check out https://t.co/GnUeH88dac for more!

We recently revamped our SquirrelMapper website. Check out https://t.co/UGSfPVkleL to learn more about how you can get involved in our #CitizenScience on urban #evolution & #squirrels! @SciStarter @LITC_urbanevo

I had the pleasure of speaking with @bradcosentino about the Squirrel Mapper project! This is an AWESOME citizen science project to bring into your classroom! I’m looking forward to creating evolution based lessons that concide with this research! @squirrelsevolve #RETevolution
