Our research team was awarded a National Geographic American Keystone Species Grant to conduct research on the process of population expansion by endangered Florida panthers. Understanding range expansion has implications for conservation and recovery. news.nationalgeographic.org/american-key...

It's a privilege to be a part of a paper on tiger conservation. All the hard work was done by Saneer and highlights the successes of research and management in Nepal that have resulted in impressive gains for wild tigers. 🐅🧪🐯 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Learn more about the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERR) (NOAA/states partnership). The NERRS do a fantastic job integrating long‐term and short term research for resilient coastal ecosystems. You can find me at Rookery Bay NERR in FL. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Our long term project has finally been published - genetic diversity is lost worldwide, but we can also make a difference and conservation actions matters. Find out more in the Science news here www.science.org/content/arti... #Consgen

Wide range of Earth’s species are showing a decline in diversity
The loss of genetic variation means species may be less resilient to climate change and other stressors

Genetic rescue has been touted as a conservation tool to revive endangered populations. A remaining question is how long the benefits of can persist in a wild population? We compiled 40 years of data on Florida panthers to get at that question. 🧪🌍🦤🧬 #consgen #conservation #wildlife rdcu.be/d77GL

I think they did a great job showing the wide range of research we do at our field office on Florida panthers, something our state agency has been a part of for 43 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA-m...

We recently collaborated on a paper that assessed the impact of spatial connectivity and movement by Florida panthers on disease transmission dynamics. You can check out the paper here. #conservation #wildlife science🧪🦤 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
