The message can be easily muddled.
The method used, relative area and amount, matters.

Using an index can help compare and contrast situations.

A MASSIVE congratulations to Eric Jolin, #WILDlab MSc student, who successfully defended his thesis yesterday @laurierbiology.bsky.social! 🎉

Eric tackled a massive camera trapping data set in NWT to infer season and scale specific top-down vs bottom-up ecological processes.

CONGRATULATIONS Eric! ✨

I'm happy to receive a second Adjunct Assistant Professor appointment @uvic.bsky.social in the School of Environmental Studies!

It is wonderful to be able to keep contributing to the department that gave me so much during my PhD. Thank you.

AND, we also welcome @nluymes.bsky.social to BlueSky!!

Dr. Luymes is a WESTON Postdoctoral Fellow doing research on Canada's only (that we know of) GPS collar data set of #Muskox below treeline. Can you say cool? 😎

The #NorthCore lab and #WILDlab are doing some pretty remote research this month.

Helicopter access only, and several hours flight away from the nearest town, we work to link Carbon, vegetation, and wildlife across this vast landscape. 🫧🌱🦌

Ontario's North is a pretty amazing place.

I'm beyond proud to announce Christine Dunabr's Women in Science Hypatia award, AND that Amaan Leacock is joining the #WILDlab as a thesis student this Fall!

Well done Christine, and Amaan!
