ACTWS/CSTWS19 Award Winners: Graduate Posters

Our poster session was jam-packed with great science. Among the 46 posters that were set up, 3 were judged to be exceptional.

The gold-medal for grad student posters went to Kelly Mulligan (upper photo) for her demonstration of “Shifts in East Kootenay elk migration patterns“.

Second place went to Nicole Boucher for her poster “Monitoring ecosystem dynamics in the Beaufort Sea using stable isotopes in polar bears“, and our third prize was presented to Joseph Silva (lower photo) for his contribution “Modeling lichen availability for woodland caribou forage in a fire-driven landscape“. Congratulations all.

To inspire and empower wildlife professionals to engage in science-based management and conservation of wild animals and their habitats.

“Rooted in Wisdom: Deer Aging Techniques”

Embark on a journey of precision and insight with the Lethbridge College Wildlife Analytics Lab (WAL) at the ACTWS Conference in Jasper! Join our workshop, ‘Rooted in Wisdom: Deer Aging Techniques‘, to explore the secrets hidden within wildlife teeth. Explore both the field technique of ‘tooth eruption and wear’ and the laboratory marvel of ‘cementum analysis’ – both dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of ungulate ages. Delve into the heart of these techniques, comparing their accuracy and precision, with a revelation of the superior accuracy of cementum analysis. Learn the art of tooth extraction and witness the seamless process of submitting your own wildlife teeth to the WAL for aging through cementum analysis. Elevate your understanding of deer populations and contribute to the advancement of wildlife knowledge and bolster your resume with applied experience. Participants will gain hands-on familiarity with the field technique of jaw aging, and the lab process of tooth extraction, inspection, preparation, and cementum analysis. Join us in Jasper for a transformative experience at the intersection of field expertise and cutting-edge laboratory analysis!

Facilitated by the Wildlife Analytics Lab, Lethbridge College
