Equipping rangers with reliable data collection tools (e.g., #SMART) to track their patrols can help correct bias and improve poaching models. However, it’s a challenging journey that may require a separate thread. For more insights, check out this piece: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

However, ranger-collected data can be unreliable due to patrol bias, leading to inaccurate models. 🤔 Collaborations between rangers and spatial modelers can help correct this bias and create more accurate maps.🗺️ #f0010" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Good morning! I’m Blessing Kavhu (@Blekavhu), and I’m excited to take over today for #BlackMammalogists! Join me as I dive into my work on mammals, with a focus on geospatial analysis. Currently, I'm a postdoc at @ucsc , and I can't wait to share my journey with you!

@oiler3535 3) It’s also great to discuss with them how people and communities can make choices that protect wildlife and habitats. 🌿

@oiler3535 2) We use technology like satellites, GPS and maps 🛰️ to track wildlife habitats, but technology doesn’t always work alone. It sometimes needs help from people, especially those with local or historical knowledge, to fully understand the land and animals. 🌿🌍

Co-creating connectivity maps with communities in elephant🐘- inhabited landscapes showed how Indigenous knowledge 🌍 complements geospatial analysis 🛰️ for validating elephant corridors in data-limited areas. Community voices 🗣️ are key to tackling habitat fragmentation! 🌱

Thanks for joining me today folks! Have a restful weekend and, in the wise words of @sciencewithtyus, stay curious! Give me a follow on Twitter @Science_Miathod as I start my PhD. 🫡

So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to for the last few years…any questions?

Happy Friday science lovers! I’m Mia (@Science_Miathod) and I’ll be your host for today. I’m a first-year PhD student at UC Davis and just finished my MSc in Ecology. My specialty is disease ecology and conservation. Come learn about disease, deserts, and more!

They’re literally GIVING these away. Throw your hat in the ring for some sick field equipment!

(Basic) definitions: One Health- human, wildlife, & environmental health are all dependent on one another Zoonoses- diseases from animals to people Anthroponoses- diseases from people to animals Spillover- disease from one sp./popu. to another

@JosephEdmundKe1 Thank you! Lots of potential research pathways in my future. 😊

@realscientists Good luck with your research 👊
