Officially Dr. Ferraro!

SO incredibly thrilled for Dr. Ferraro's successful defense of her dissertation last week!

🌿🐾 New research shows that bringing animals into ecosystems saves species and fights climate change by capturing and storing carbon. But, as we offer in our newest paper with People and Nature, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. #rewilding #climatechange doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1…

New paper from this newly minted doctor! It seems everyone is excited about the potential of Rewilding, and we are, too! So, we dove into all the complex contextual dependencies that matter when Rewilding for climate change. (1/3) People and Nature doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1…

PSA: Dr. Kristy Ferraro 🦌👩🏻‍🔬 & 📚🐛 is a great interview : ) environment.yale.edu

🚨New Paper Alert! Dr Kaggie Orrick , Nathalie Sommer , and I have a new perspective in Biological Conservation on the importance of valuing all individuals in human-wildlife conflict sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Deer culls in Scotland may be having unintended environmental consequences through stripping habitats of nutrients when carcasses are removed. Findings from new research by Kristy Ferraro 🦌👩🏻‍🔬 & 📚🐛 & Chris Hirst in The Scotsman 🗞️ Applied Ecol. Resources|Ecol. Solutions & Evidence The University of Edinburgh scotsman.com/hays-way/why-c…

1/7 Excited to share our new research published in @BESJournals Applied Ecol. Resources|Ecol. Solutions & Evidence Kristy Ferraro 🦌👩🏻‍🔬 & 📚🐛! We found that removing culled deer carcasses in Scotland may be draining environments of vital nutrients. 🦌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #EcologyResearch #DeerManagement doi.org/10.1002/2688-8…

Why culled deer carcasses in Scotland should be left to rot, according to experts scotsman.com/hays-way/why-c…

Check out Chris Hirst’s and my new study highlighting the landscape level impacts of removing deer carcasses from Scottish landscapes with Applied Ecol. Resources|Ecol. Solutions & Evidence British Ecological Society Featured in The Scotsman!

Our newest paper on how deer culling may be stripping Scottish landscapes of nutrients was also featured in The Sunday Times! Chris Hirst British Ecological Society Applied Ecol. Resources|Ecol. Solutions & Evidence thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…

Researchers suggest two solutions for the "alarming" loss of key nutrients from our uplands due to deer carcass removal... 1) Leave culled deer carcasses on the hill 🦌 2) Allow more deer to die naturally, perhaps aided by reintroduction of natural predators. 🐾 Read more:

Thanks for the feature SCOTLAND: The Big Picture! Chris Hirst

Dr. Kristy Ferraro 🦌👩🏻‍🔬 & 📚🐛, one of the newest recipients of the prestigious Banting Post-doctoral Fellowship, joined Humans of MUN Biology this fall!

I’m delighted to be shortlisted for a prize that honors such an impactful ecologist! This was a super fun paper I did with another ECR, Chris Hirst and we loved getting to show the power of using open-source, government-sponsored data from NatureScot. Thanks Applied Ecol.

I’m absolutely honored to win a prize named after such a bold advocate for wildlife. Thank you Applied Ecol. Resources|Ecol. Solutions & Evidence, British Ecological Society and my fantastic collaborator on this work Chris Hirst! 🦌

We often lean on heroes and villains to make sense of the world—but nature rarely fits that mold. Our paper in American Institute of Biological Sciences looks at the hero-villain trope in ecology & conservation, and offers ways to tell richer, more honest stories. Adam Meyer doi.org/10.1093/biosci…

Stories and science, oh my! Thanks American Institute of Biological Sciences for hosting Adam Meyer and I to chat about our new paper in BioScience! We talk about narratives in science and provide tools for creative storytelling in ecology and conservation. Have a listen!
