We are recruiting students for the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology PhD program @UTEP across a wide variety of fields. Multiple funded RA positions tuition remission included for qualified applicants available starting in 2025.
For more information: lnkd.in/gknKrwps
Want to learn more about waterfowl ecology and management? @Lavretskylab is offering this course online and in dual languages @UTEP, making it flexible and adaptable to your schedule! Course will be offered in the spring 2025 semester and has a credit and non-credit options.
We thank @UTEP centennial museum for our exhibit “A Waddle Through Time” up, engaging all local people on waterfowl conservation! Still up online to check out utep.edu/centennial-museum/
Don’t forget to take part of waterfowl conservation at duckDNA.com !
yesterday the @LavretskyLab field crew began baiting trap sites as the start of our effort to revive and restore the Koloa duck on Oahu! This research will be implementing management actions using the simRestore modeling framework to preserve the species' genetics into the future
@LavretskyLab thanks @MSBbirds for letting @laurmcfar to scan and study their #mallards! Specimens like this bird collected by Aldo Leopoldo in 1918 are our time machines!
Had a blast @MOGameKeepers on this podcast! Talking waterfowl genetics and conservation! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Huge congrats to Dr. @FlorHernandez_C for successfully defending your dissertation!!
