It sounds like there is growing interest in the creating a Canadian Arctic Management Plan at the federal level, which would be wonderful for providing coordination and direction to Arctic research efforts in Canada.

We’re excited to share a new study that reviews bovine TB prevalence in European wildlife and investigates what role four species may play in wildlife disease transmission! Authors: @wjustusresearch, @simon_valle, @OwainBarton, @amygresham48, @GW_Shannon https://t.co/3Zl32S8auV

Another great #CINUK project featured this month! Thanks @TayaForde and @KutzLab and the #ArcticEID team for the update! @UKRI_News @POLARCanada

Interested in wildlife health, human-wildlife interactions, and disease ecology in the context of conservation? Great event going on at Bangor and online next week - don't miss it! #onehealth @BangorSENS

Join us for the 1st annual meeting of Mammal Conservation Europe. Free online event 27th March. Find out what we are up to and hear one of Europe's top carnivore experts, Prof John Linnell on "Wolf Conservation in Europe: How do we live with success?" 🐺

Thanks to all my coauthors below and to @BangorSNS and @Mammal_Society for supporting this work! 5/5 @simon_valle @OwainBarton @amygresham48 @GW_Shannon

Ultimately, we identified behaviors and habitats that were high-risk for transmitting bTB between wildlife species and demonstrated the potential for community-level effects during a bTB outbreak. We recommend future studies employ more multi-species bTB sampling. 4/5

We begin by pooling bTB prevalence data using a systematic process to identify species of concern for disease transmission. We identified four species with the highest prevalence of bTB and proceeded to examine how these species might contribute to disease transmission. 3/5

Few studies of bTB investigate disease transmission between wildlife species and many papers consider only one or two species at a time. In our review, we highlight the importance of considering disease transmission within the context of the wildlife community. 2/5

New paper out in Mammal Review! “A review of bovine tuberculosis transmission risk in European wildlife communities” https://t.co/NJcIOxi6WO I’m very excited to share this study that examines what roles different wildlife species may play in bTB transmission. Thread 1/5

Come on by to learn about the Arctic and the people and animals who call it home! @KutzLab @ArcticInstitute

The @KutzLab is teaching kids about muskoxen and caribou today at @TELUS_Spark with the @ArcticInstitute ! We’ll be out here tomorrow as well.

Pine martens caught on camera playing on children's swingset in Ardnamurchan, Scotland. The owner of the video, Les Humphreys, tells us this is a nightly occurence in his garden. Credit: Les Humphreys, Ardnamurchan Wildlife Watch Facebook Group #pinemarten #wildlifephotography

WE HAVE GOOD NEWS! For the first time since reintroduction into the wild, the population of Mexican wolves in Arizona and New Mexico has surpassed 200! Photo credit: Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team

Today, I’ve officially completed my Master’s degree in wildlife biology and it happens to be world wildlife day as well! I’m grateful for Welsh wildlife and I hope that they continue to thrive, spread, and make Wales wild once more!

Today is World Wildlife Day. It is a United Nations International day to celebrate all the world's wild animals and plants and the contribution that they make to our lives and the health of the planet.

Interesting talk by David Bavin from @vincentwildlife on public opinion surrounding reintroduction of lynx to Scotland. #NCWR2022

Great poster yesterday from @wjustusresearch on his Masters research looking into the temporal overlap of #badgers, #foxes and fallow #deer in North #Wales and the implications for #disease transmission #NKV2022 🦌🦊🦡 @OwainBarton @GW_Shannon

Team Deer from @BangorUni in attendance at #NKV2022 @SLUwildresearch 🇸🇪 great first day of talks, looking forward to seeing @OwainBarton's talk and poster from @wjustusresearch tomorrow 🦌 @GW_Shannon
