Prairie Research Institute’s Post

Hello, if you have experience in ecological fieldwork and population dynamics, this PhD position opened by NTNU in evolutionary ecology might be suitable for you! A quick summary: The main aims of this position is to quantify links between different types of animal movements, including dispersal (and resulting immigration to new populations) and reversible seasonal migration. Understanding how these different types of movement co-occur and interact will provide new capability to predict how spatial population dynamics will respond to dramatic changes in seasonal climates and environments. The empirical objectives will be achieved by applying advanced statistical models to multi-year field data collected in a partially-migratory meta-population of European shags in Scotland. There will also be opportunities to contribute to fieldwork, quantitative genetic analyses and/or theoretical modelling, depending on the interests of the successful applicant. Full training in quantitative, analytical and modelling skills will be provided. Application is open until 27th January 2025! https://lnkd.in/d6A7mPmw

🌟 Building on My Passion for Ecology 🌟 Thrilled to announce that I have successfully completed the "Introduction to Biology: Ecology" course, authorized by Rice University through Coursera. As a Biological Scientist, this course allowed me to further strengthen my foundation in Ecology while exploring new dimensions of the field. Throughout this program, I: Refined my skills in recording precise scientific observations. Deepened my understanding of ecosystem models and their applications. Honed my expertise in species identification. Enhanced my ability to communicate scientific ideas effectively. Mastered tools for concept mapping and data visualization. I’m excited to integrate these learnings with my academic background and practical experiences. Looking forward to new collaborations and opportunities to make a lasting impact in Ecology! 🌱🔬 #Ecology #BiologicalScience #ProfessionalGrowth #Sustainability #LifelongLearning

If you are doing your PhD, and wondering if you'll ever publish even a part of any of those chapters, the answer is yes! But when you do, you'll likely have improved it even more than you could imagine by learning and co-authoring :) Most proud of "A Population Ecology of Network Domains" by Branda Nowell and I as level-up of my doctoral work. https://lnkd.in/gHgyzCs5 Purpose-oriented networks (PONs) are a crucial and prevalent forum for addressing complex public issues. Using a longitudinal bipartite dataset of 74 PONs nested in three different geographic areas, we test a series of hypotheses, based in population ecology theories, concerning the impact of domain-level dynamics on network-level outcomes. Findings offer substantial support for, and insight into, the relevance of population-level dynamics in explaining organizational, network, and domain-level changes over time. Findings further offer practical insight and a cautionary tale for public and philanthropic initiatives that incentivize or mandate the formation of new PONs in a network domain.
