Reasons I think we shouldn’t help baby animals 😁. By 'helping' wild animals, you could end their freedom or even their lives – here's why you should keep your distance via @ConversationUS.

A newborn bison calf in Yellowstone National Park had to be euthanized after a visitor handled it in May 2023 – a recent example of how trying to help wild animals often harms them.

I’m looking for folks teaching herpetology this spring who might want to participate in a larger iNaturalist team sightings page with my penn state students. Cool chance to learn about other regions and see differences in phenology

Check it out @agsciences @PSUecosystems.
New paper alert! 🚨 Fun project from my @PSUScience days with great friend @EvolutionAvery - we found that anthropogenic noise at the nest from laying to fledging (gas compressor noise) didn’t have any effects on nestling measures inc immune response .

Note to nesting songbirds: Study indicates the quiet spot — away from a natural gas compressor — might be better -

Penn State researchers found songbirds that nested near the noise had fewer eggs that hatched.

Awesome new work with @Hoosier_Dani and Brittingham on #NoisePollution (gas compressors) and nesting success. Check out the video! @agsciences @PSUecosystems

Some songbirds are not dissuaded by constant, loud noise emitted by natural gas pipeline compressors and will establish nests nearby. The number of eggs they lay is unaffected by the din, but their...
