NEW MSc POSITION! We're starting a new study system on eastern small footed bats in Ontario. Please share widely and/or apply if you're interested in foraging ecology, bats, and conservation! Link to application is here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A thread of #ConservationJobs (and career resources) in conservation-related science, policy, practice, communication, etc.

I'll add to it over time. Focus will be mostly in Canada, with occasional posts for other parts of the world.

Share job ads with me and I'll link here.

Need aerial predator protection for grassland songbirds? Check out our recent paper for an example of predator exclosures that were successful for an island population of Savannah sparrows! doi.org/10.1016/j.yh... [1/4]

The first paper of your PhD is always so exciting! 🤩 An all-#Galbatross effort, "A focus on females can improve science and conservation!" See press release (www.audubon.org/news/researc...) and the study here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...! #FemaleBirds #FemaleBirdDay

My first PhD thesis paper is out now in Hormones and Behavior "Corticosterone predicts double-brooding in female savannah sparrows (Passerculus sandwichensis)". Open access here: doi.org/10.1016/j.yh... [1/7]

Do you want to share what your campus is doing to mitigate bird-window collisions? Submit your presentation proposal now! Visit birdsafecampus.org to fill out the application. Call for abstracts are open until February 3rd.

Presentations will be 8 minutes long and will be recorded through Zoom.

As we continue to plan our June meeting in Los Angeles, our hearts go out to everyone affected by the ongoing fires there. If you're looking for ways to help, here's the LA Times list of suggested organizations to donate to. www.latimes.com/california/s...

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

Happy 2025! I'm thrilled to have recently defended my PhD and to be starting a postdoctoral fellowship in wildlife science at the Toronto Zoo in a few weeks 🐢🦇🐍. Celebratory photo from my post-defence trip to the Everglades.

Welcome to the newest spot to get your CatCam updates! I am a PhD candidate studying the impact of outdoor cats on wildlife by attaching animal-borne cameras on owned domestic cats! Hopefully I'll be more disciplined and provide more research updates here than over at that last website!

Individual Sphagnum mosses lack structure and are prone to stress and desiccation. As an intertwined community, they fight off massive wildfires and protect the world’s largest soil carbon stock. They also nonchalantly preserve bog bodies.

Learn from Sphagnum. Be the Sphagnum.

So happy to share this new pub with everyone just published at @ibisjournal.bsky.social!
I am proud of it, not only for the science, but also the process of doing the science; one of the more useful learning experiences for folks in my lab.

Hey all! 🦋 A really lovely group of co-authors and I wrote this recent piece for the special issue @society4conbio.bsky.social. We talk about both the challenges and strengths that come with being Black and queer in conservation ✊🏾🏳️‍🌈🌱 Always a re-energizing read for me! ❤️ doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

My first first-author paper is out now as an accepted manuscript in Behavioral Ecology!

"Reduced fitness of secondary females in a polygynous species: a 32-year study of Savannah sparrows" doi.org/10.1093/behe...

Do you love taking pictures of #Ontario #birds? Are you looking for a new way to contribute to #science & #conservation? If so, the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas could use your help! #ONBirdAtlas3 is looking for quality photos for their final publication. Learn more at https://buff.ly/4fAvtU1.

Participating in this program was an awesome experience! Highly recommend applying (also the location this year 😍!) Happy to answer questions about the experience if anyone has #WOS2025 #ornithology

Making the transition to Bluesky like so many others! Hi I'm Hayley, I'm finishing up my PhD in ecology and aiming to enter the applied conservation field in the near future. Looking forward to connecting here!
