New Paper Alert: it was a pleasure to join and be welcomed by this fantastic team! Our study reveals the 3,400 km-long Yellowstone to Yukon region ranked the most intact and least developed mountain system globally, but near last in % of lands protected. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

A significant new paper about trophic cascades in Yellowstone National Park doi.org/10.1002/ecm.15…

@HebblewhiteLab Thrilled this impressive (wow - disease, demographic, and movement data!) research is out! This work will contribute to advancing conservation efforts focused on prioritizing connecting and protecting landscapes for migrations and working lands across the Y2Y.

A new KEY paper showing loss of elk migration increases per-capita risk of disease spillover for Brucellosis in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Excellent study by a great team! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@HebblewhiteLab Congratulations! Thank you for showcasing this important ecocultural approach, Karsten, Jonathan, Leroy, and Mark.

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? 🧵 conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@Connorjmeyer @BrennaJCassidy I've been eager to get my hands on a copy and am thrilled to see this for you, Brenna! Congratulations to a stunning and informative piece of literature. They sure picked the right person for this and the bar is set high for books in the series to follow :)

Great news story by the @missoulian about @S_Sells & @MontanaFWP's new study on grizzly bear connectivity in the Northern Rockies - the definitive new empirical guide to where and when to invest in connectivity conservation missoulian.com/news/local/gri…

NEW PAPER: Using genetics on >1000 grizzly bears we uncover scale-dependent impacts of distance, human activity, & canopy cover on grizzly bear genetic connectivity. Valuable insights for conservation efforts! 🐻🌲 lead by Eric Palm + team (incl @kzeller)! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

@ClaytonTLamb @kzeller Congratulations on this collaborative effort! I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this work for conservation application - this is a powerful contribution, thank you all.

A 20-mile hike in the Tetons rewarded bumble bee researcher @EllenKeaveny with a special Bombus occidentalis sighting. Keaveny knew it was the western bumble bee because of its “cute white butt.” bit.ly/43VHug4
