@DMennill @RyanNorrisSci @BSSkentisland What's that tube on the top?

What a day on Kent Island, working with @RyanNorrisSci to deploy 16 Song Meters for our ongoing study of Savannah Sparrows. It has been a great decade of collaboration with Ryan and with our amazing students and colleagues.

You might wonder how a butterfly that pupates in a leaf nest gets out of said leaf nest as a brand new butterfly....... Mottled Duskywing larvae make an exit hole before they pupate! #teambutterfly

@sydcannings1 Bittersweet I'm sure Syd! Congratulations. I hope your retirement is filled with birding and all things relaxing!

#teambutterfly has officially started their annual monitoring program @PineryProvPark where we reintroduced Mottled Duskywing in 2021! All males flying today- they are always first and will establish territories while they await female emergence!

#teambutterfly is back in action! Today we took over 600 endangered mottled duskywing larvae out of an environmental chamber to "wake them up". It's spring guys! Time to pupate! They are destined to repopulate formally occupied areas in Ontario.

Job Alert! Are you an Indigenous student looking to gain experience in terrestrial ecology? NRSI is looking to hire a field assistant for a turtle tracking program!

New PhD position available to study Canada Jays in Algonquin Park!

New MSc position! Radio-tracking monarch butterflies and bees with @NigelERaine and myself. @UofGCBS @UofGWeBeIB. Details below.

Last week #teambutterfly visited the McGuire Centre for Lepidoptera and @JCDanielsLab to learn more about their Frosted Elfin butterfly rearing & breeding program. This species has been extirpated from Ontario since the late 1980s and we hope it will be our next success story!

Biologist @RyanNorrisSci (@uofg) used to believe “science takes part but shouldn't take sides.” Now he’s urging peers to protest not only Highway 413 but also threats to nature more broadly. — by Gideon Forman (@DavidSuzukiFDN) #onpoli tvo.org/article/meet-t…

@nrsinews staff donated a total of $14k+ across 80+ charities today and NRSI matched it with $16k: we gave $5k to Better Tent City (ON), $6k to Mustard Seed (AB) and $5k to Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources. $30k+ for a company of 100 employees 🙌 #GivingTuesday

@SaveWildBees ❤️❤️❤️

Marc & I are definitely feeling the love during this very difficult time. Thank you, all 🩵

Dr. Sheila Colla, @SaveWildBees, is an extremely inspirational woman who works hard to #savethebees and #supportsocialjustice. Sadly, she has just been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of thoracic cancer. Please consider supporting her if you can: gofundme.com/f/support-shei…

Do you have expertise in Canadian herpetofauna? The COSEWIC #Amphibians and #Reptiles specialist subcommittee has a call for expressions of interest in membership. This is open from November 1, 2023 and December 6, 2023 (3pm). More details in link below: cosewic.ca/index.php/en-c…

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the first screening of "Butterflies at the brink: the story of the mottled duskywing". It was an incredible night! #teambutterfly #speciesatrisk

Just out! A model, led by undergraduate Andie Siemens, predicting the distribution of endangered Jefferson salamander in southern Ontario. More than half of suitable habitat occurs in Ontario’s #Greenbelt. Free to download here: int-res.com/articles/esr20…

Dive into the world of Canadian science & podcasts! Check out @CBC's Quirks & Quarks podcast, where Jessica Linton & Michelle Polley talk all things mottled duskywing butterfly! bit.ly/3RoYB7n @Conservatory_ @RyanNorrisSci @nrsinews @Jessicalinton86 @PineryProvPark

Apparently our recent book has sold about 6600 copies in Canada and the US in its first year 🤯 Ping @annsciart @BeesYork

Big news for NRSI! I'm proud to work for a company that is now 100% Indigenous owned & has built a strong reputation in the environmental consulting industry & scientific community. The species at risk work I do would not have been possible without NRSIs support over the years.
