Hartebeest surveys today! The eastern herds are thriving with their infants growing into the juvenile stage, but also found a long-dead hartebeest near a lone male’s territory :,(

Just when I was beginning to wonder why my advisor suggested bringing bungee cords to the field 😅

Almost time to leave Panama for Wyoming & thinking about what an awesome experience this project has been.

⭐️Research Highlight: https://t.co/cPg4gnaDdN by @LauraPrugh.

📝In their review, Van Scoyoc et al. (2023) present a novel framework for understanding how human activity affects predator-prey interactions.

I want to thank my buffalo supervisors (and my lovely field team) for a great day! The first cams of my PhD are now live!!! 🥳🦓🦁🐄

Exciting research (https://t.co/qSmPR9wagQ) by Z&P prof Dr. Anna Chalfoun and colleagues sheds light on greater sage-grouse neutral response to sagebrush reduction treatments. Preserving large, undisturbed sagebrush tracts is crucial for the persistence of sage-grouse pops!

Recent publication (https://t.co/PidnMs3qm9) from Z&P's Brett Ralston, Dr. Amy Navratil, and Dr. Brian Cherrington unveils new insights into miRNA (https://t.co/T2JO5HzaMF) biogenesis and the role of peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) in gonadotropes.

Large herbivores slow Arctic tundra diversity losses associated with sea ice decline, a new Science study finds.

The results support the idea that encouraging herbivore diversity in the tundra could temper some of the impacts of climate warming. https://t.co/L5DzKjmkDi
