Are you looking to get a graduate degree in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences? This funded MS project at OSU is focused on testing a range of non-invasive method for small mammals (enclosed camera trapping + thermal cameras mounted on drones) against SCR applied to live trapping data.

I am recruiting two funded graduate students (1 MS, 1 PhD) to join the lab and the Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences program at Oregon State University!
If you are into population ecology and a combination of fieldwork and modeling - then check this out!

About time. Not that I'm a fan of ranking journals, and of course there are genuine articles published in those journals, but this is just stating facts. If it's in most of MDPI/Frontiers, we can't trust it's been properly peer reviewed.
Big news from Finnish publication forum. Almost all MDPI and Frontiers journals will be downgraded to level 0 and thus are not considered as properly peer reviewed trustworthy scientific journals.

A neat article about how moonlight can affect animal behaviour and its relevance to light pollution.

Moonstruck: how lunar light influences animal behaviour - Australian Geographic
Biologists have recently fixated on our closest celestial body, but what can it tell us about the Moon's effects on animal behaviour?

⏰New Research ⏰
We quantified the direct impact of diversionary feeding on capercaillie productivity. We show an increase in the proportion of hen with a brood in DF sites (37% -> 85%) and, as a result, a 131% increase in chicks per hen. Read more here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Advent Sci-Fact 9:
Invasive squirrels do not avoid predator scent!
Grey Squirrels (Invasive in the UK) do not avoid feeders with Pine Marten scent. Native Red Squirrels visit scented feeders less frequently, for shorter visits and are more vigilant!

Are you interested in species interactions and how we model them?
Then this thread is for you!
Our new paper in Ecology on the role of abundance in species interactions provides new statistical tools for modelling species interactions.
