So excited to shared this project lead with @fredericddb.bsky.social and many enthusiastic ecologists. We played as predators and prey and with quite simple rules and were able to reproduce phenomenon observed in nature. doi.org/10.1111/2041... @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social

Excited to share our new paper in @esajournals.bsky.social Ecology! ❄️ Our 17-year study shows that even moderate winter events (rain-on-snow, melt-feeze) can negatively influence lemming winter reproduction and population growth. 🐹 Open-access available here: 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/ecy....

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data. "As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported." nsidc.org/data/user-re...
Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS). As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported. This includes Sea Ice Index, Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products, Glacier Photograph Collection, U.S. National Ice Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format Gridded Monthly Sea Ice Extent and Concentration, 1850 Onward World Glacier Inventory. If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.

Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man.
You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Migratory Birds Advance Spring Arrival and Egg‐Laying in the Arctic, Mostly by Travelling Faster
A warming climate is affecting the phenology of life on earth, including when birds migrate and start breeding. We show that earlier arrival is a general pattern also for birds travelling to the Arct...

Fresh off the press! 📰 How do territorial predators behave when at risk of encountering neighbours? Jeanne @jclermont.bsky.social tracked Arctic foxes 🦊 on Bylot Island to study the effect of conspecific encounter risk on foraging behavior. with Marie-Pier Poulin & @dominiqueberteaux.bsky.social

We monitored the movements and behaviours of Arctic foxes using neighbouring home ranges and evaluated if conspecific interactions influenced where they foraged. The probability of encountering consp....

New: The Specialist Predator Hypothesis is discussed here and David provide evidence that it is not well supported to explain lemming cycles and, de facto, the temporal dynamics of the Arctic tundra food web. However, ermines do have a major impact on it. Find out in the MS how! Its open access.

Arctic hares may be migratory in the high Arctic. Uncertain what causes this possible migration but resource tracking seems plausible. 🧪🌍 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hello Bluesky! I'm a behavioral ecologist wrapping up my PhD at Laval University. I use movement data and field surveys to explore how predation shapes population dynamics and species coexistence. Most of my work is on arctic fox, shorebirds, geese and mountain goats. Happy to join the conversation!
