An incredible day to celebrate @MelanieDickie and her accomplishments in wildlife restoration. In a mere 1771 days as a PhD student, she knocked out more than 20 papers, won a researcher of the year award, and taught me how to bead friendship bracelets.
The Mel #Eras tour rocks!

Major expansion to provincial park makes it the largest created in a decade, protecting nearly 200,000 hectares of habitat for endangered #caribou in B.C. #UBCO FoS and @BiodivPathways researcher @ClaytonTLamb says this is what caribou need. Learn more loom.ly/MywNONE

Acoustic individual identification, or "AIID" has the potential to open new frontiers in ecological & evolutionary research.
We reviewed & synthesized studies that identify individuals in acoustic recordings ("AIID") and make some recommendations for next steps!

Fantastic coverage by @NPR @NPRShortWave on our recent paper teasing apart the drivers of deer expansion in western Canada's boreal. If you are keen to hear more about it, I'm giving a webinar on May 14 - register at us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

NEW PAPER: We disentangled the effects of habitat alteration & climate on white-tailed deer densities, an invasive spp. disrupting western Canada’s boreal food web. We were surprised to learn that climate had a clear signal, but habitat alteration didn't doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17286

NEW PAPER: We used 50 yrs of mtn caribou data to ask how the population has changed and whether population-based recovery actions are working. Spoiler: declines >50% over last 30 yrs, but controversial wolf reductions (+more) are working 🧵(1/n)

What an honour! This paper was such a huge learning opportunity for me, and I'm so excited about where it's taking me and my research! Thanks to co-authors at @ABbiodiversity for making it happen with me :)
🎉 Congratulations @MelanieDickie – winner of our Georgina Mace Prize for the best article by an early career researcher! #ECR [🧵1/4]

Awesome work coming out of Biodiversity Pathways tracking current state and future of caribou habitat.
Great talk by @MelanieDickie at @theACTWS conference! Impressive #WoodlandCaribou habitat mapping effort to characterize change in disturbance features and #HabitatRestoration across #caribou ranges in BC & AB - using Lidar, sat and ML tools to get high-res veg data on all LFs

Really fun to watch supplemental feeding in action for the Kennedy Siding caribou herd. There's a live stream you can watch! Learn more here: wildlifescience.ca/livestrea…

NEW PAPER: We followed 76 grizzly bears in a human-dominated landscape to explore coexistence. What we found surprised us. Tons of mortality, tons of conflict, and yet also tons of bears—3x denser than Banff National Park. How could this be possible? 🧵

Exciting news for people and wildlife in southeast BC. The funding will help move the needle on connecting wildlife and keeping people safe. Proud to see @BiodivPathways as partners on this important work 🙌 and for @Y2Y_Initiative bringing us all together
Breaking news! Together with partners we're boosting wildlife connectivity on #Hwy3 in BC & Alberta. Funding from @ParksCanada will support wildlife crossings & fencing, connect protected areas, helping animals move safely & thrive

Great thought-provoking talk by Rob Serrouya @BiodivPathways: let's focus on rate of demographic change in vegetation and make that info more accessible at herd level. Look at trends in net gain/net loss in suitable habitat as key metric #NACWAUC2023
