A new tool to understand #cat overpopulation in our cities and move us towards humane and effective management strategies. Now we can consider owned, unowned and shelter #cats simultaneously and how cats move among categories through human interventions doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone…
ALT The population model considers owned cats, unowned cats and cats in shelters. Cats in each category survive, reproduce and and sterilized (spay/neuter) at different rates. Cats move between the categories through human interventions, such as adoption, relinquishment and abandonment.

A few months back, I had the honor of being interviewed for an Audubon Magazine article on the negative impacts of free-roaming cats on birds and other wildlife. They did a great job covering such a complex and contentious topic! Please share! audubon.org/news/why-it-so-h…

#NewPaperAlert! Stoked to share our pub on the migration phenology of songbirds tracked with the #MotusWTS network as they travel through North America in spring, now published in @AnimalEcology! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… 🧵
ALT Graphical predictions of different migration strategies relative to the green wave of spring onset: birds might travel at the same speed as the wave (surfing), trail behind it, jump over it, or catch up to it during their migratory journeys.

89 #MotusWTS tagged #MonarchButterfly are making their way through s. #Ontario. This study led by @uofg will provide valuable info on their migratory behavior, and routes. Stay tuned for more updates @RyanNorrisSci @Newman_lab @gmitch_ecology @TylerFlockhart @AngelaDemarse
On the weekend, our President @Pat_Nad had the opportunity to release a tagged Monarch - part of a @uofg study tracking these butterflies' movements in southern Ontario! #MotusWTS @LotekWireless @environmentca
Prediction: The morning of September 21, 2021 the provincial government in Saskatchewan @PremierScottMoe will re-impose a mask mandate. 12 hrs after federal election polls close. Why? #gutless

Publication alert! 📸 We assessed the effects of flash-type on detection probability and individual identification. Results showed that IR and white-flash yield similar detection probabilities for most common urban mammal species, but white-flash is better for individual ID

New! #Monarchbutterflies lay more eggs but have lower survival on milkweed planted in pesticide-treated crops compared to milkweed planted in non-treated crops. #neonicitinoids #conservation #butterflies

!New research alert! #Monarchbutterfly larval survival is lower when eggs are laid on milkweed in neonicotinoid-treated corn crops compared to control corn crops. What does this mean for monarch butterfly conservation? besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Yeah, it's time to stop being polite about it. Decision-makers are complicit if they follow single scientists who are not willing to do the hard work and collect the data to support their thesis. Correlations with cherry-picked data is bush league.

Does it feel like you see as much #wildlife in your neighborhood as you do in #RockCreekPark ? Our recent publication uses #DCCatCount data to better understand where animals live outside of protected parks!

I will be appearing in a documentary on outdoor and feral cats premiering on Tues Nov 24 on @TVOdocs and panel discussion @TheAgenda.
Showcasing some of my research from my time as a @LiberEroFellows
How do cats impact bird populations?
Watch the @tvo documentary “Running Wild: The Cats of Cornwall” and @TheAgenda with #UofG bird researcher @GowElizabeth of @IntUGrativeBiol next week to find out.

Congrats @hannnahclyde!
Today, @hannnahclyde successfully defended her MSc research on estimating abundance and habitat use of free-roaming cats. Congratulations, Hannah!! A wonderful piece of research and was such a pleasure having you in the lab. @IntUGrativeBiol @uofgGradStudies
