A new study experiments with a low-cost way to monitor den-box use by martens & fishers – temperature loggers.
By analyzing the rate of temperature change, researchers correctly identified every fisher and marten den visit—and even distinguished the two species! 🦊🌍🧪

folks who do outdoor fieldwork in cold conditions: I cannot recommend these reusable handwarmers from Ignik enough. I used one pair all week on my last field hitch. they still got hot today. they're like $2 each at REI

Things I learned in #2025MMM - urination time of all mammals (all animals?) is essentially the same (21 seconds plus/minus 13 seconds), what patagium is, quokkas yeet their babies at predators so they can escape, and the word kleptoparasitism which I plan to use at every opportunity. Yay, science!

Sorry for the lack of stoatistics in #2025MMM tonight. I'm moving to Salt Lake City this weekend for a new job. Probably will be too busy packing tomorrow night too, but I should be back on Monday!

Taking another crack at the two divisions that didn't pan out for me! And yes, there's still one musteloid left, so even if it's foolish, I'm picking it. You got skin in the game, you stay in the game #TeamCoati #2025MMM

lol to drive home that scientifically accurate running away is a thing and okay, I made my students imagine themselves as a langur. Turned off all the lights, made them close their eyes, and played the sounds of the T.Devil over the speakers. Several students were horrified by the noises
