"I think wolverine researchers have to be tenacious, just like wolverines," says @WCS_Canada's Matt Scrafford to @TVOdocs. "They live in very wild, inhospitable environments, so in order find them, you really have to be stubborn." #GreatLakesUntamed bit.ly/3dIQCAW

Watch @WCS_Canada scientist Matt Scrafford on @TVOdocs tonight at 9:00 PM EST on his episode of Great Lakes Untamed, where he talks about his work trying to save the last wolverines in Eastern North America! 📺 Watch here: bit.ly/3dIQCAW

@phoebe_edw Hi 😊

Earlier this summer, Malkolm Boothroyd had the opportunity to witness the migration of the Fortymile caribou herd. Read what he learned, & how this iconic species could be impacted by the Dawson Land Use Plan. Thanks to @thenarwhalca for publishing it! thenarwhal.ca/opinion-yukon-…

The new short film Caribou Homeland celebrates a vision realized, but also forges a path forward for saving and recovering other caribou herds in B.C. Have you seen it yet? 📽️ y2y.net/blog/a-vision-…

Want to know what our wolverine field tech does after a winter of tracking #wolverines? Head on over to our Instagram or Facebook to find out! instagram.com/p/CUOE0HNgRR6/ facebook.com/TheWCSCanada/ Hint: it's super cool 🥼🧪

Wildfires more frequent and intense in Ontario this year. "My fear," says @WCS_Canada's Connie O'Connor, "is that these fires are going to get to the stage where it is too much for animals' natural adaptations to fire to handle any more." #ClimateCrisis cbc.ca/news/canada/th…

Opinion: Biodiversity management in Canada is undertaken through a bewildering array of laws, regulations and other tools that provide fragmented and inadequate protection. Via Justina Ray, @JB_Grimm, @PoliticalOlive, @ConversationCA thenarwhal.ca/opinion-biodiv…

Check out our new paper in @ESAEcology examining how food availability and long-term predation risk affect snowshoe hare's antipredator response to lynx encounter. Collaborative work with @ekstudd @MJLPeers @YMajchrzak @boutinlab @akmenzies @RDerbyshire7 @MurrayLab_Trent

New paper today! The long-awaited test of our warning system. Large animals fled from trains 6.5 s (62%!) earlier when warned than otherwise. This extra time could reduce wildlife deaths from train collisions. Published open access here: doi.org/d7zd

I truly hope one day as a society that we can appreciate human diversity and the unique display of identity as much as we do with the biodiversity of the natural world and all the wildlife we are so greatly enamored with, it would be wonderful to witness. #sciencetwitter

As biologists, we're very lucky to spend a lot of time in nature. The reason that we can do the work we do is because people decided to #AdvocateForScience and #protectwildplaces. We appreciate all the ways that you help! Happy #EarthDay2020! #50thEarthDay

Learned this the hard way in front of many students 🤦🏻‍♀️
