What will it take for elk to thrive once again in NE MN? On our first stop of the LCCMR site visit, experts @ForesterUMN of @UMNFWCB and Mike Schrage of @FondduLacBand discussed their #mnertf-funded study that helped inform @FondduLacBand’s plan to return elk to the region.
The usual suspects & surprise guests were spotted on camera dining on elephant carcasses in @KWSTsavoEast. Joseph Bump's lab & #CabLab (@StotraChakraba2, @SmittyInNature) collaborated on a new pub (z.umn.edu/8uh7) examining predator interactions at mega-carcasses.
Researchers spied on elephant carcasses with camera traps. Here's who they saw!

The Bell’s Curator of Fishes, @erimystax, is retiring this year—while we’re sad to see him go, we’re so grateful for the legacy of inquiry, mentorship, and curation he will leave behind. Read more at: bellmuseum.umn.edu/blog/sayi…
Dr. Elena West's team is leveraging acoustic monitoring and machine learning to identify red-headed woodpecker habitats around Minnesota. The goal is to train a computer to identify a queeah call, a territorial call produced by the birds. mprnews.org/story/2023/06/26…
Wolves in northern MN are fishing far more than previously thought according to new findings from @VoyaWolfProject, showing the population's ability to adapt as their habitats change.
Welcome, Dr. David!
From the mouth of the Mississippi River to the headwaters! Excited to share that our family will be returning to the Midwest where I’ll be joining the University of Minnesota @UMNFWCB!
@TheGarLab will continue, with new native fish conservation work too! fwcb.cfans.umn.edu/news/davi…

Welcome, Dr. Ford!
I am incredibly excited to announce that I will be joining the faculty @UMNFWCB as an Assistant Professor and the @BellMuseum as the Curator of Ichthyology & Molluscs in Fall 2023! I cannot wait to continue my research on freshwater fishes and head back to the Midwest!

Conservation Sciences graduate students had a productive and enjoyable writing retreat up in Cloquet! I'm very thankful to be in a program with such amazing individuals. – at Cloquet, MN

ALT A picture from a hike as the sun begins to set. There is a snowy trail, snow covered pines and a few birch trees are on both sides of the trail. One tree is so weighed down by the snow that it bends over the path like an archway.
Please join us in congratulating FWCB student, Gretchen North, who is one of the inaugural recipients of this public service scholarship!
Michelle and I are proud to join @BChesky in announcing the first recipients of The Voyager Scholarship, which supports 100 rising college juniors as they pursue a career in public service.
I can’t wait to see what these young people accomplish!

While all grazing animals can improve grasslands, bison are less reliant on water sources & less likely to trample riparian plants, allowing fish & amphibian diversity to recover says #umn ecologist Joseph Bump. @UMNFWCB science.org/content/article/…
Lead researcher, Dr. Gretchen Hansen (@gretchen_H20), describes this project as an example of how managing local conditions can help mitigate the negative effects of climate change.
Lake-specific targets for watershed management are lacking. Researchers in @UMNFWCB identified lake-specific thresholds for protecting forested watersheds and estimated uncertainty in how individual lakes would respond to climate and land use change.

CFANS alumna Adina Allen (@UMNFWCB major) recently won a national award for her time in Alaska through National Student Exchange. Her work as an intern with @AKConnect2NtR provided an opportunity to educate the local community about the wonders and importance of nature.
