#SelfieSaturday from the open waters of Man O’War bay after an epic day of diving to maintain @ERICTobagoWI coral nurseries 🪸🤿

First RUV deployment in the books ✅ Now onto the video analysis!! @ERICTobagoWI

#SmallCarnivores make excellent sentinels of #GlobalChange. Our #perspective in #MammalReview highlights the benefits of thinking middle-out and not only top-down/bottom-up when it comes to monitoring and evaluating #EnvironmentalChange

Another adventure with @UWI_StAugustine field practicum yesterday - we searched Little Tobago’s trails to mark & measure these hermit crabs (Coenobita clypeatus). We’ll be returning next weekend to recapture so stay tuned! 🐚🦀

So many awesome finds herping last night with @UWI_StAugustine field practicum students, including a celebrity armadillo sighting. Wild time all around 🦂🐸🐍Thanks for letting us tag along!

Big thank you to the North East Sea Turtle team for letting us tag along for an unforgettable experience!!

Here’s a neat shot from last night’s turtle patrol. This brave mom spent at least 20 mins digging her nest and then another 15 laying 150-200 eggs! These guys will hatch in ~6 weeks and return to the water in a pretty treacherous journey! Best of luck to them!! 🐢🏝@ERICTobagoWI

🦌Procko et al. used camera traps to monitor human activity and terrestrial mammals near Vancouver, Canada to determine the relative effects of various forms of human recreation on native species. 🐇 You can find their article at doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1… 🐺

This is the seamstress of the bird world… Nature is incredible. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #rewilding #birds

@KrogerElizabeth Very generous use of the word “we”

One of my favorite parts of living abroad is learning new things (and especially trying new food)! Tonight we cooked callaloo which included dasheen (taro) leaves and okra, paired with some homemade tortillas :)

A great talk by @laura_baboolal of @TTFNC on her and @AlexFSansom's @BirdsCaribbean funded project to increase #Caribbean Waterbird Census #CWC coverage in #TrinidadandTobago #AOS_BC_22 #CaribbeanNature

The Vermont Atlas of Life is a community science project founded by VCE. We currently have 6.7 million observations! We can use this data to make strong predictions on how the state may look in the future. See our future Oak distribution maps based on three emissions scenarios.

All smiles cutting PVC to put together new coral nursery trees 😄⁦🪸🐠@KrogerElizabeth⁩ ⁦@ERICTobagoWI⁩

Bunkering down for the #tropicalstorm means finding a marine toad (Rhinella marina) under plywood and Goldie (Felis domesticus) in our apartment!! @ERICTobagoWI

Blunthead tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa) found on ⁦@ERICTobagoWI⁩’s lime tree. I’m loving getting to meet new Tobagonian fauna at every turn! 🐍👋

Have you considered going to the #FarmersMarket this week?🥬 Herring et al. discuss why these markets may be beneficial for wildlife in their recent article, available at doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1… #conservation #science #supportlocalfarmers #shoplocal

World is losing ‘magical’ tradition of human-animal #mutualism, a @ConLetters study warns: Honey gatherers working with birds to find wild bees’ nests; fishers working with #dolphins to trap fish — these are known as mutualism, which is dying out fast. news.mongabay.com/2022/06/world-…
