Jenny writes great popular science pieces, plus the research is cool 🌍🧪
Excited to have this one out after over a decade of work. Strong evidence for why migration matters for ungulates.
Come be my (remote) work colleague! Dr. Ellen Aikens and Dr. @wyokauffman.bsky.social are hiring a postdoc to lead analyses on a new migration ecology and climate resilience project with 152 mule deer herds and >44 million GPS points! Apply by July 15th!

New study on mule deer in Wyoming reveals that migration is critical to maintain a robust population. I got the chance to chat with lead author Anna Ortega and @wyokauffman.bsky.social about their recent @currentbiology.bsky.social research: www.uwyo.edu/news/2026/02...
Every wonder how deer, elk, and pronghorns use habitat across the annual cycle?
This report should be a treasure trove of info for ungulates in the US. 🌍 🧪

The latest @wakeforest.bsky.social @wfubiology.bsky.social Nazca booby research is LIVE! I helped lead data collection for this paper when I was a PhD student, but WFU alum '23 (now PhD student) @treyursillo.bsky.social led the analysis! 👏 Great work, Trey!
