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!

I am currently looking for an MSc student to join my research group for September 2025 to investigate moose habitat selection in the context of apparent competition in Ontario's Far North. Please share and contact me for further details!

@MarkJCarney "CaLl An ElEcTiOn"!!! 1% chance of CPC majority? Yup, I kind suspect he likely will:

My meeting with the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations was focused on keeping Canada’s economy strong in the face of unjust tariffs.   We’re ready to engage with the U.S. on a comprehensive negotiation — when Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation.

#BREAKING: Mark Carney has won the Liberal Leadership race and is now the Prime Minister. Only in Canada can an unelected, private citizen with 3 passports be chosen as the Country's Leader. So much for democracy. F🇨🇦CK Mark Carney!

Hi all, posting again because I think my last post with a link may have gotten blocked or downranked. I'm moving to the other place where the sky is blue. Please look me up there: m-laforge.

Not a fan of current management here, so trying to migrate to Bluesky. Please follow me there! m-laforge.bsky.social

@Tany_LK98 Hi Tanya, unfortunately due to very expensive foreign tuition which makes funding models intractable, the positions are only open to domestic applicants

@MamlSpatialEcol Interested in this project Dr Michel! Are international students eligible to apply?

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!

I am currently recruiting two graduate students (PhD or MSc) to work on caribou habitat management in Ontario at Lakehead University. Please repost and circulate to interested parties, and please contact me for further details!

Very excited to see the 2nd chapter of my thesis out in @AnimalEcology!

@MethodsEcolEvol Thanks for the tweet!

How do ungulates surf the green waves? @MamlSpatialEcol showed in their great #ESA2022 talk that they adapt their movement on route!

How does a flight not load ANY checked bags?

@FattebertJ @Oikos_Journal @WileyEcolEvol @NordicOikos @Mark_Alun_Lewis The classic "shell game"!

Co-existent populations affect one anothers movements and therefore their spatial distributions, in occasionally unexpected ways. Here, we give a framework for understanding how this happens. doi.org/10.1111/oik.09… @WileyEcolEvol @NordicOikos @Mark_Alun_Lewis #OpenAccess

Our new group paper from @WildOnTheMove on paper citations is now out in @wildlifesociety Journal of Wildlife Management!

Is your team working on a paper or recently published some great science? Yay! 🥳 Our new paper, now out in @wildlifesociety, can help authors prepare & disseminate their research to maximize its influence/incorporation into wildlife management! 1/8 wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

If you suggest that voters will determine if a leader is a "dictator" **at the next election**, then spoiler alert you've already answered your own question 🙄

@rangeshifts @humans_MUNBIOL @wildlifeevoeco Thanks Carissa!

@Migratinghooves is hiring a mapping scientist to help create a world atlas of ungulate migrations, working with the Merkle Research Group at the University of Wyoming. Apply here: eeik.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

@egelz519 Take on small, achievable tasks instead of thinking about everything that is left to do. Remember that YOU'RE the expert on your thesis. Take breaks to not get burnt out.
