This drone footage captured by Steve De Neef is just stunning. Watch as this male orca cruises through a kelp forest in the Falkland Islands 🌿💙 #LoveKelp

How much MORE would your field kit cost if you purchase women's gear? @variolax found that you would be paying 43 - 135 USD more, and possibly as much as 172 USD more. 😡 #PinkTax #BonnetCarre2019 @RobertCMahon @traviseswanson Preprint @EarthArXiv: doi.org/10.31223/X5BG70

How much does basic field gear cost, if you have no gear of your own and want to participate in field research/education? @variolax compiled $$ for a basic field kit. @RobertCMahon @traviseswanson #BonnetCarre2019 #WhatsInYOURBudget Preprint @EarthArXiv: doi.org/10.31223/X5BG70

I've been doing this in the last 5 years. It comes down to my knowledge on topic at hand, my capacity in specific project and, of course, deadlines. Very helpful.

Applying scientific evidence to every decision in conservation management can be overwhelming. In our #openaccess paper we provide a framework to enable organisations to create a strategy for scientific evidence use sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Good advice!

If you have missing data in Excel, put "NA" in that cell. A blank cell is treated as a zero by Excel (e.g. try adding 3 to every number). -9999 is a number and will mess up future calculations All other options are non-standard. NA is recognized by R automatically.

New paper out in early view today @cjfas! We used otoliths and genetic stock ID to quantify the entry timing, residency, and early marine growth of juvenile Harrison Chinook salmon in the Fraser River estuary (a thread - 1/5) #FraserSalmon #estuary #habitat #otoliths #SSMSP
Graphical abstract of Chalifour et al. 2020 study tracking juvenile salmon in the Fraser River estuary for two years. Juvenile Chinook salmon from the Harrison River were the most dominant salmon population in the estuary and spend an average of 42 days in the Fraser River estuary as they grow before migrating to sea. Otolith analysis revealed a wide range of estuarine entry and residency times, and consistent daily growth rates over the season (mean 0.57 mm per day). Chinook favoured brackish marsh but moved to more saline habitats as they grew. Estuarine growth may contribute to marine survival for this population.

I'm providing free labor to one of the industries with the highest profit margin in the world for the 5th time this week. In other words, I'm reviewing my 5th manuscript this week. Why do we do this again? #AcademicLife #ThursdayThoughts #BrokenAccess

We were lucky to learn from Berry Berry Wijdeven who taught us about the extensive work on conserving Haida Gwaii’s many endemic species, including ermine. Dr. @BrazilDamsel Chaves taught us about @CHN_HaidaNation’s inspiring work behind the SGaan Kinghlas–Bowie MPA plan. 4/
