The FSU marine turtle research lab is looking for one of our instruments (a hydrophone). This instrument provides critical information about the soundscape of Crystal River, an area which is home to 3 species of sea turtle who are threatened w/ extinction! Please read & retweet!

I am hiring a postdoc to analyze passive acoustics data in coastal Gulf of Maine + collaborate with a broad team to link data to other estimates of marine biodiversity. Scholar would also work with PhD student quantifying Atlantic cod movements + diets.

Our newest movement paper! For fledgling snail kites🐌🪁, natal habitat influences the initiation, execution, and outcome of foray behavior, and late-bloomers that emigrate later have the highest survival 🤩 dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

Foray movements are common and vary with natal habitat for a highly mobile bird | doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1… | Ecology and Evolution | #ornithology

New paper just published 🚨 For those interested in habitat selection and connectivity modeling

Do you use proportion variables (% of habitat/LULC, species composition, % of behavior, fraction of biomass) as covariates in linear models?

I am recruiting a PhD student at Cambridge University to work on defaunation & conservation!

We will use long-term experiments & broad-scale modeling to guide conservation.

Come join us! The position is for UK citizens. See fletcherlab.com & Dept of Zoology for more

Looks like a great project and advisor for those interested in a PhD related to quantitative ecology and animal movement!

Happy to hear our paper 'Biologging as an important tool to uncover behaviors of cryptic species: an analysis of giant armadillos' was one of the top 5 most viewed #Statistics articles published in PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment journal in 2023!
