    No full text
    Diseases carried by northern raccoons present significant health hazards to both people and pets. This 7-page fact sheet written by Caitlin Jarvis and Mathieu Basille and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation is part of a series addressing health hazards associated with raccoons. It describes the most important internal and external parasites associated with raccoons. Sick wild animals can act tame, but do not approach! Contact animal control or a wildlife rehabilitator if an animal seems to be behaving abnormally or if you suspect it is sick

    Diseases carried by northern raccoons present significant health hazards to both people and pets. This 7-page fact sheet written by Caitlin Jarvis and Mathieu Basille and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation is part of a series addressing health hazards associated with raccoons. It describes the raccoon roundworm and the disease it causes, baylisascariasis, which normally causes little or no trouble to raccoons but in severe cases can make people and their pets very sick. Sick wild animals can act tame, but do not approach! Contact animal control or a wildlife rehabilitator if an animal seems to be behaving abnormally or if you suspect it is sick

    iNaturalist is one of the most popular citizen science data portals in the world. Citizens can submit pictures of biological observations to an online data base to be reviewed by the rich online community and used for important biodiversity research around the world. Users can use the iNaturalist ap to plan community projects and bioblitzes and learn more about species identification and biodiversity. In this 5-page fact sheet, authors Matthew Earl Boone and Mathieu Basille explain how observations are vetted and used and give a step by step guide to get started!

    No full text
    This repository is a companion to the manuscript "Recent trends in Movement Ecology: a quantitative review of tools, topics and research gaps", from Rocío Joo, Simona Picardi, Matthew E. Boone, Thomas A. Clay, Samantha C. Patrick, Vilma Romero-Romero and Mathieu Basille. Pre-print available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.00110 It also hosts the website dedicated to the paper, https://rociojoo.github.io/mov-eco-review. It contains the codes to do the analyses of the paper. The data processing and analysis are explained on the website. It also contains a dataset of movement ecology papers obtained after pre-processing the query results from Web of Science and applying the cleaning procedure. For each movement ecology paper, the dataset contains information of: author, title, journal, keywords, extra.keywords, abstract, publisher, publication date, doi, affiliations, and an alternative identifier used for the analyses
