Deer 522, a #muledeer in the Uinta herd showed us what it’s like to migrate from her winter range near I80 to her summer range outside of Evanston in the Spring of 2021. 522 wore a collar with a video camera 📸on it Here is a short thread🧵about what we saw from her eyes! 👀

@pygmyrabbitgirl I’m surprised they removed the post! I thought the discussion was fairly well informed. There was some guesswork, but most of the suggestions were backed with good explanations.

@MotherOfDasypus @linds_ecology Haha yeah trees are useful for that! I actually used a hammock with built in netting on a trip through the Grand Canyon. I just put it on the ground and used it as a mini tent. For desert work I recommend light weight long sleeve button up shirts for sun and scratch protection.

@linds_ecology Wow I also did not think about nothing to hang them on 🤦‍♀️ @TGettelman suggested hammock camping and then we realized…no trees 😂

There will be a 6 week sampling period where I will be supervising a crew in the backcountry. That being said, gimme all your tips! Tent/sleeping bag recs, backpacking tips and gear you can’t live without, and vegetarian food suggestions please!!!

Nature does open access

@phycofrenzy I wish their data would do that

'Phylogenomic analysis of evolutionary relationships in Ranitomeya poisfrogs (Family Dendrobatidae) using ultraconserved elements' NIce one, @jason_l_brown @I_Prates & Co.! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Just want everyone to know that we put Rudolph noses on the taxidermy deer in the visitor center and some little kids came in like “THEY KILLED RUDOLPH 😭” I haven’t stopped laughing about it

@pygmyrabbitgirl It’s a stunning area! I worked on the sage grouse project for a couple seasons out there and I miss it a lot

Check out this masters project studying the impact of raccoons on state endangered Blanding's turtles! They need someone to start right away so apply now if you’re interested. Dr. Nielsen is a fantastic and very experienced advisor. wfscjobs.tamu.edu/jobs/graduate-…

Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s on folks!

@ellle_em My brother has zero chill and hogs the bed

@SSFyimby @dawnbuggy @Lomquiche @as_an_archaeo @jonboyes @theohonohan @andrewsomerset @ali00713 @anicegreenleaf You get the same effect using VHF radiotelemety to track animals. Nothing like holding a big metal antenna in your hands and hearing lighting blips in the receiver.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a better sign in a museum

@lizzysawrusrex Taping or pinning puppy pads to the walls and surfaces behind perches worked for me.

Check out this amazing masters project with bobcats and coyotes! My friends in this lab speak very highly of Guillaume and the study area is beautiful. wfscjobs.tamu.edu/jobs/ms-positi…

I ❤️ this beautiful chaos

@cbae237c895543b @MotherOfDasypus @slothgirlmel Luckily skunks are really reluctant to spray unless you scare or trap them

@cbae237c895543b @MotherOfDasypus @slothgirlmel I couldn’t! He was trapped inside the tent with me!

@MotherOfDasypus @slothgirlmel Hard pass. Fart kittens are the only acceptable outdoor cats.

@TGettelman @slothgirlmel Invite him inside next time

@MotherOfDasypus @slothgirlmel Does this count?

@slothgirlmel @TGettelman honestly surprised this hasn’t happened to you yet
