Drop off 2024 vs 2016 👀

3 Adult Bald eagles and 3 juveniles have been feeding on a dead sea lion since we got here 4 days ago.

Signing up for that lawsuit waiting to happen

311 calls for attacks/bites to pets. Guess the area where a lady is feeding coyotes to the point of them letting themselves being pet! Noticeable as well that areas next to ravines have a higher number as well. More likely due to people going with their (often off-leash) pets to the ravine trails.

I haven’t posted in a while, what have I been up to… well for starters Frontiers finally published our urban coyote connectivity paper after almost a year of being accepted. Bit criminal, but we are happy its out & somehow still relevant considering we submitted in 2022 doi.org/10.1002/fee....

I don't know who needs this.. but if you don't want to see the tracked changes go to the review pane, tracking and select "simple markup".

and if you are wondering "boy those coyotes are really using linear features in Toronto", they do!. We also investigated that through a habitat selection and connectivity analysis, that you can find here while its still in press at FrontEcoEnv www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Last week we provided a revision for our paper on coyote seed dispersal, where we look at coyote movement from the plant perspective.
The pre print has now been updated, including cooler figures following suggestions by the amazing reviewers we got. 🧪🌎

Making this type of outline forces me to keep a circular content in my presentations that will keep the audience engaged.
This is for a 50 min lecture, and still I kept it to four bubbles. It oversimplifies a bit the content, but let's face it no one can follow through >5 points of outline anyways🧪

In summary, the first to use the corridor were deer, bears took 6-7 years to start using the wildlife corridor and then used it frequently, cougars and black bears prefer sheltered passages (i.e. underpasses), the corridor worked even for wolverines and lynx. All seen with camera traps 📷🧪🌎

If you ever wondered how to generate predator-prey networks from camera traps, we tried two ways, compared and discussed them in our latest manuscript 🧪https://www.researchgate.net/publication/372994274_Building_urban_predator-prey_networks_using_camera_traps

Hi everyone, I'm new here, I'm a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto working on urban wildlife, especially mammal movement, their habitat use, landscape connectivity from their perspective, their biodiversity in cities, and their role in the ecosystem. I'm on twitter as @UrbanZoochory 🧪
