Well, this is my favorite post ever now.

This crucially important and obviously visionary work makes me feel vindicated for having said the same thing last year, albeit with much less evidence, while being mercilessly mocked by the city and its residents. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Great study! Oh I really miss studying prairie dogs. So much to learn!

Having a great time at #IUWC2025. Saw some amazing talks, and I got maybe the best compliment on my research I've ever received. I'm way too embarrassed to tell you what it was. Tomorrow I'll be co-leading an all-day symposium on UWIN! Can hardly wait!

New publication out this week in @stacksjournal.bsky.social where we looked at the relative roles local and long-distance colonization play on the distribution of striped skunks throughout the Chicago Metropolitan area! 🧪 www.stacksjournal.org/article/kase...

This is our first post on @bsky.app and we want to share that 🦊 We’ve joined the UWIN network! 🌎Happy that Kim Rivera and Mason Fidino are in Bariloche with us leading a workshop on camera trapping design and using GitHub 📷💻We’re excited to apply this knowledge to study urban wildlife Argentina! 🏙️🐾

Please do! I want to be inclusive. Right now I know it's quite over-representative of North Americans / people I know personally. 😀

I'll add you and anyone else you like.

Hi I made a starter pack for scientists and conservationists based at zoos! Please share and let me know if you want in. go.bsky.app/VFEo51C

Don't forget zoos do conservation in the wild too!

Ooooh want to create a new UWIN partnership there?

To be clear, others spotted them before we did! This is just the first time they've popped up on our cameras.

Well it only took 14 years or so, but our team has finally detected river otters in the Chicago suburbs. A testament to the clean-up of Chicago's waterways, and to our stubborn determination to keep putting camera traps out forever. Hoping for bobcats next! www.lpzoo.org/otters-spott...

We have a starter pack for scientists using camera traps! 📸 If you work with camera trap data in any way, either collecting data, running ecological models, training CV/ML models, let me know I’ll add you to this list 🎉 go.bsky.app/CbJkbVw

Hi I'm new here! My team and I study animals in the Chicago area using passive approaches like camera traps and acoustic monitors. We also coordinate a global network of ecologists doing the same-- www.urbanwildlifeinfo.org. I'll probably also talk about working for a small free zoo.
