Attention movement ecologists! WILDLABS Community is hosting Virtual Meetups starting next Wednesday, April 27 at 2 PM BST where they are kicking off the season with discussions about emerging developments in movement data collection. #DontMissOut

Check out this animation of a buck that snuck out of a high fenced military base. He found his way back in too. Maybe wildlife movement can be used to identify weak points of entry…

A tremendous effort for a 2nd year of a nationwide camera survey.

R developer needed! Help us use #rstats to bring continuous-time movement modelling #ctmm for #animaltracking to @Move_Apps and Movebank. moveapps.org/#news

Check out these graphics depicting how a white-tailed deer moves after being captured. We’ll be analyzing hundreds of deer to see how capture impacts their movement and space use. Jared Beaver #animalmovement

Here’s another animation of a female white-tailed deer that made a relatively long movement in <30 minutes to end up dying at/near a water crossing. These animations really get you thinking about what goes on in the world of wildlife. #movementecology

These animations sure do help to tell a story. Read more below.

Great tips/reminders no matter where you publish!

Ph.D. assistantship available starting Fall 2024 at Texas A&M University working on population and spatial ecology of collared peccary. If you like GPS data then this project is for you! We will GPS tag up to 350 javelina and mark 100s more. #movementecology

How did COVID-19 restrictions affect wildlife behavior around the world? 🐾 Our very own Stephen L. Webb contributed to a global project to find answers. 👇agrilifetoday.tamu.edu/2024/04/17/tex… #WildlifeWednesday #WildlifeResearch #Research #WildlifeBehavior

I’m excited to announce that I’ve started as an Assistant Professor at Lakehead University! I’m looking for two PhD students to join my new lab. If you are interested in investigating how disturbance affects caribou in Northern Ontario, please apply! And please spread the word!

These photos from grad student Dave Pearce provide a glimpse into the lives supported by our rangeland ecosystems. Pearce is working to develop a long-term wildlife monitoring program at RWFM’s La Copita Demonstration Ranch and Research Area. #WildlifeWednesday #Rangelands

Our team is partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps and Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute to explore how different adaptive grazing strategies affect bird and small mammal presence on the landscape. #Rangelands #Research #Grazinglands #Wildlife #AdaptiveGrazing

When conducting studies, researchers work to obtain the most precise data possible. A recent analysis led by RWFM doctoral student Dylan Stewart aims to help scientists do just that. Access the full text at sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Stephen L. Webb #WildlifeResearch #GPS

RWFM’s investigation of the spatial and movement ecology of translocated desert bighorn sheep in Sonora, Mexico, is highlighted in the latest issue of Wild Sheep, the journal of the Wild Sheep Foundation. Access the story at e.issuu.com/embed.html?d=w… Stephen L. Webb #Wildlife
