New open-access paper! Mtns lions in/around LA @SantaMonicaMtns shift diel activity in response to human recreation. Lions in areas with higher amounts of rec shift from crepuscular activity to nocturnality and rest more during the day. 1/5 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

CDFW is proud to release the Black Bear Conservation and Management Plan for California, which incorporates the latest scientific tools and methods to conserve, manage and monitor black bear populations and reflects input from more than 5,000 individuals and groups.

Weasels are hard to detect, so researchers don’t know much about how their populations are doing. Researchers recently found that red meat is a good bait to lure the small mammals to camera traps.  wildlife.org/wsb-tracking-d…

I'm looking to hire a graduate student to examine plasticity and individual differences in movement and habitat selection of caribou to disturbance. Please see the attached ad and share!

This is unconscionable.

Continuing to share these stories. Anyone calling these people “parasites” or cheering on these layoffs should be ashamed. This isn’t eliminating waste. It’s targeting people who get paid very little yet who are some of our most dedicated public servants protecting our National Parks and other public lands. And these cuts are putting those same public lands at risk.

These stories are heartbreaking. And also make me furious. Putting people and our wild heritage at risk.

Really excellent and important research, check it out!

@amy_christina @SPBombaci @city_scientist @ana_verahrami Amy this is a fantastic paper! Really important research that can help improve our field!

Thank you @wildlifesociety for the nice article about our research!

Thank you so much to @NPRKelly and @npratc for the opportunity to discuss our research on how mountain lions in LA respond to recreation! npr.org/2024/11/19/nx-…

Thank you @LAist for coverage of our study of how mountain lions in @SantaMonicaMtns shift diel activity in response to recreation! laist.com/news/climate-e…

@MelanieDickie Thanks Mel!

VERY cool paper just out about mountain lion response to human activity/recreation. While all the outdoorsy people sleep, the kitties come out to play. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Congrats @ecbolas! I had the privilege of exploring the area earlier this yr & its an amazing spot!

Thank you @ucdavis for the nice article about our new paper on how mountain lions respond to human recreation! ucdavis.edu/climate/news/m…

This coauthor team was awesome and featured a high school student and undergraduate! Most folks aren’t on social media but I appreciate them so much!!!! 5/5 @justinesmith

Mtn lions in LA deal w/ roads, habitat fragmentation, wildfires, & rodenticides- even small changes to activity may add stress to an already stressed pop. But their flexibility in diel activity likely helps support coexistence between lions and recreating people. 4/5
