Are you or someone you know looking for a postdoc? Consider joining my lab at University of Wyoming where we use imaging and computer vision to study animal behavior in complex natural ecosystems. Collective behavior, salmon, migration, machine learning! kogerlab.com

If you're in the Jackson Hole area and, like us, are excited about this migratory species – the Great Gray Owl – join JH Bird & Nature Club, Tuesday Oct. 10 @ 6:00 pm at Teton County Library for a talk by @UWyoPiEE alumnus, Katherine Gura, PhD, of Teton Raptor Center.

Cool new #roadecology study by @mp_poulin et al., suggesting that elk dynamically balance risks of highway-crossing with benefits of high-quality forage. Fascinating to consider the difficult decisions and tradeoffs that wild animals make every day around our infrastructure.

Do animals balance the risks and rewards of roads? Using field and GPS data from elk, researchers find they modulate their selection for foraging resources with the risks they experience relative to roads when travelling 🦌🛣️🦌

Incredibly excited to share some recent work from @UWyoPiEE on migrating mule deer! This was a huge effort that required years of data and would not have been possible without all coauthors and collaborators from the @BLMNational and @WGFD!
