Paddling out on this new app and excited to meet you all :).

I'm an ecologist interesed in species at risk, the causes of population declines, and what we can do about them.

💫 Management of caribou threats may benefit wolverine, but a complete management strategy for wolverine would rely on effective caribou conservation actions that have meaningful on-ground impacts and the management of additional wolverine-specific threats.
rhohnen.bsky.social
🔍 For wolverine, current conservation objectives are not well defined. Only four conservation documents list recovery actions for wolverine, and the most recent national document (2014) does not list any. This leads to a disconnect between identified problems and proposed solutions.

🌿 Many threats relevant to wolverine and caribou may be addressed through effective management of caribou critical habitat,which implicitly involves managing for the cumulative effects of industrial disturbance. Is this being effectively done in Canada? Probably not.
rhohnen.bsky.social
🏭 We found considerable overlap between wolverine and caribou in listed threats and recovery actions. Habitat loss, hunting and trapping, sensory disturbance, and linear features were all key threats to both species.

🍁 We systematically reviewed conservation documentation and scientific literature to investigate the extent woodland caribou-focused conservation is likely to benefit wolverine. Writing this paper, I learned so much about how conservation works in Canada.

Here’s a few things that stood out to me:

It's USA #PublicationDay for my kids book WILD! 🤩🎉
It encourages kids to spot similar features in completely different groups of animals, and to wonder why. Why are so many animals spiky?🦔 Or have white bellies and black backs?🐧 Or paddles?🦭 Or venom?🐍 Or eyes on tops of their heads?🐊 a.co/d/31fo6M4

It's #InternationalPallasCatDay! Finding wild Pallas's cat was one of the most amazing experiences of the last year. It was hunting voles on a Himalayan plain, wriggling its tail - the only part of its body that isn't camouflaged - presumably to distract the voles. #MammalWatching #WildIndia #Ladakh

For #science nerds wanting to read up on #penguin evolution + the millions of years that some penguin spp have been dealing with ice …

Their evolution is pre ice. They are tough. Birds that can go through interglacial/ glacial times (hothouse / icehouse 🔄) are tough. We can learn from penguins 🐧

‘Megafire’ — you may not like it, but you can’t avoid it.
In our new paper, we argue why a clear, size-based definition (>10,000 ha) of megafire improves research, communication, and fire management globally. 🔥

It actually exists! A few copies of my new book just arrived. Nice to see it in person, finally.

If you've ever wondered about the ecology or evolution of an invasive population, this one's for you. #evobio 🌏 #bioinvasions #ecoevo
A book, "the ecology and evolution of invasive populations", atop another identical book.

Last year, Alberta turned back decades of sustainable wildlife management to expand hunting and trapping. Was there any scientific justification for these changes?
