If you’re interested in hearing more about this paper, I’ll be presenting tomorrow at the University of Minnesota Conservation Sciences Seminar, free and open to public: sites.google.com/umn.edu/con…
NEW PAPER ALERT! We evaluate how the ability of wolves to exploit their resources through movement interacts with resource density to influence home range size. The paper is highly couched in theory, but has strong application ties. My favorite combination! Read along.

It’s #FuseFactFriday and we're looking into a mushroom’s predatory tendencies. As it turns out, many species are known to both hunt and trap their prey! Check out the infographic to learn more. #fuseconsulting #mushrooms #fusefactfriday #knowledge2practice #SciComm #SciArt

So awesome working with @MelanieDickie! Check out her new paper on the effects of habitat restoration. Great work! 🐺
NEW PAPER! Habitat restoration is ramping up to help recover caribou habitat and populations – does it work? We found restoring seismic lines reduced travel speed of wolves, bears, and caribou. What does this mean? Read on and check out doi.org/10.1111/cobi.14004

It is a crazy feeling to know my artwork will be hanging out in a park in Edmonton for many years to come! #illustration #scicomm #SciArt
We are excited to share the unveiling of our new #interpretivesigns throughout Hermitage Park! In the north end of the park exists the Kennedale Constructed Wetland which is surrounded by interpretive signage explaining the elements and environment of the Wetland.

Do owls have eyeballs? While owls are known for their razor sharp vision, it’s their internal structure that’s even more surprising. Check out this week’s #FuseFactFriday! #SciCom #SciArt
