Law enforcement officers said they were pressured to lie when the governor of Montana, Greg Gianforte, killed a black wolf in 2021. He says the story is an election-year smear. nyti.ms/3VplPvH

"[My adviser] told me that instead of focusing on finding a dream job, I should think about what I am good at and what makes me happy at least 80% of the time. This advice surprised me at first, but it ended up being exactly what I needed to hear." scim.ag/7aJ

canadianfieldnaturalist.ca/.… New paper shares min. # species killed in AB’s wolf strychnine program 2005–2020. Fewer wolves were killed compared with non-target animals, including 10 mammal & 4 bird species. I suspect there are even > non-target deaths & suffering caused by 1080.

I share this remembrance of my friend and colleague, Diana Wall, in sadness but also in gratitude for the warm, generous, & infectiously enthusiastic, way that she lived and elevated her science. We remember her fondly. Diana H. Wall (1943–2024) | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Opinion pieces, where facts go to die? @pacificwild says our recent paper advocates for the indefinite culling of wolves and for habitat restoration efforts that will span hundreds of years. Neither is true, both measurably false. Disappointing. straight.com/city-culture/hy…

The cryptic giant hummingbird species differ subtly in plumage and morphology—but careful observers can tell them apart. Bryce Robinson @BW_Robinson has brought their magic to life with his keen eye & spectacular illustrations.
The giant hummingbird, Patagona gigas, is really two species, a southern species that migrates and a northern species, dubbed Patagona chaski, that does not. Chaski is Quechua for “messenger,” and refers to relay runners of the Inka Empire. In PNAS: ow.ly/F0FP50RO69F

NEW PAPER: Recurrent event analysis for assessing species interactions using #CameraTraps, allow better understanding than traditional methods (time-to-first event). Piece-wise exponential additive mixed models (PAMMs) show superior performance in detecting interactions. 1/2

I investigated the Yellowstone Club, a private resort in Montana where ultra-wealthy business leaders and celebrities own homes. Last summer, I hiked three miles up the Gallatin River where I found wastewater pouring into the river from the club’s golf course. 🧵
