I'd like to clarify that habitat alteration leads to caribou declines in many ways. Deer invasion is only 1 piece of the puzzle. So this headline is misleading, though some of the content is still helpful

Great article by Warren Cornwall in Anthropocene on our recent findings and the caribou conservation conundrum. We've bought some time, and wolf reductions work, but w/o more habitat the future is bleak. Words from Chris Darimont + Hebblewhite Lab

What influences white-tailed deer density at their northern limit? Melanie Dickie has some answers! 👏

Caribou find themselves in “terrible danger” of being the “loss of [our lives]”, but there are “moment[s] of warm sun” in the future. Read along to understand the struggles and successes “straight from the tortured [ecologists] department”.

NEW PAPER: We followed the fate of 40 caribou herds —the southern mountain caribou population—to assess their trajectory and response to recovery actions. What we found was surprising and bitter sweet: dramatic declines but recent recovery due to controversial measures. 🧵 (1/n)

Look at this adorable piebald dude. Does piebald coloration change through the season? Check out a few images from the same area but different sites and dates... same guy, or multiple?

Organized chaos resulting from servicing 350 cameras. Natasha Crosland is more organized than I, for sure! And now we tag images! Next up, the really fun part: plotting and analyzing data! Marcus Becker keep your eyes peeled for data coming your way! #cameratraps

Anyone have some PC900 Reconyx c-brackets kicking around that they don't need? They seem to be discontinued or are at least out of stock #cameratrap RECONYX

We enjoyed listening to a great caribou webinar by Clayton Lamb. If you missed it, you can find the recording here: cmu.abmi.ca/about/caribou-…

Today in the tales of a lost biologist, I ask @NatashaAnnich to help ID the song birds blasting around my house to see if they’ll eat from a feeder if I get one. We’re down to redpolls or house sparrows. I dunno man. I’m not #teambird
