New paper on wild pig survival in the presence of cougars 🐗🐱☠️ @BioInvasions
Cougars rarely killed adult pigs but occasionally killed juveniles. But survival rates remained high even with large carnivores around.

Our new paper was published on the survival of feral pigs 🐖in the presence of cougars 🐱. Juvenile mortality was mostly due to predation & road kill, not so for adults.
This is part of Mitch's PhD work with CDFW, NWRC, & DoD. We should have more soon!

A new film explores the life of Polish ecologist Simona Kossak, who dedicated herself to the preservation of the Białowieża Forest.
While famous for her eccentric images with wild animals, Kossak was a pioneering scientist and activist, writes Darek Kuźma notesfrompoland.com/2024/11/…

A few months shy of his 11th birthday, Seuss, Alberta’s mussel- and wild boar scat-sniffing dog, is hanging up his vest.
Through his illustrious career, Seuss has helped protect lakes and fields across AB from invasive species.
Have a happy retirement, Seuss!
