Who's your indicator species actually indicating for? That's what we set out to answer in our new paper using over 800k hours of #acoustic data! 🧪🦤🔊🌐🌎 Spoiler: Indicator species can be effective #biodiversity surrogates, but spatial scale matters! Check it out here: doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

This is so evil that it defies understanding. A transplant surgeon on an H1B visa was deported, despite a court injunction. She had committed no crimes. This must stop. We must stand together to protect immigrants and visitors against state terrorism. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

Brown Medicine doctor deported despite federal court order. What we know.
A court order that would have delayed the deportation of Dr. Rasha Alawieh was issued while her plane was on the tarmac, but it took off anyway.

Bird #bioacoustics folks: @kitzeslab.bsky.social is hosting a hands-on "Advanced topics in bioacoustic monitoring" workshop at AOS 2025! We'll make custom sound ID models, estimate birds' positions using acoustic localization, and discuss how to use sound ID results to make ecological insights.

New paper! We demonstrate a simple model comparison method to supplement biological knowledge when choosing the length of the closure period in occupancy models! A fun exercise led by a @cornellbirds.bsky.social undergrad! Check it out @consbiog.bsky.social: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A Simple, Quantitative Determination of the Appropriate Duration of Site Closure to Improve Occupancy Modelling for Nomadic Species
Aim Occupancy models are ubiquitous in ecological and biogeographical applications, but they rely upon an assumption of site closure that is sometimes applied across many weeks or even months. Nomad...

New paper out today! We demonstrate how incorporating bioacoustics into wildlife monitoring can support management and restoration planning at a bioregional scale in fire-prone forests (but really anywhere). Read it @esajournals.bsky.social: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies... 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551

"It's Dr, Actually" - Now available as trans and non-binary pins! I think a lot of people need a reminder right now that experts know gender isn't binary, and a lot of us need a reminder we're not alone. So please share widely! canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/1841...
Two circular enamel pins with the text "It's Dr, actually" in black. The rest of the design is the transgender pride flag on one pin and the non-binary pride flag on the other.
