“We know that there will be some winners in #climatechange. We hear a lot about the losers,” said Dr. @marieaugermethe.bsky.social. “For Canadian #polarbears, #bears are not doing well.”

“For Canadian polar bears, this doesn't change anything. Our bears are not doing well.”

“For Canadian polar bears, this doesn't change anything. Our bears are not doing well,” says Dr. @marieaugermethe.bsky.social. “It's clear that their body condition, their survival, their reproduction has been declining with sea ice.” www.cbc.ca/news/climate... via @cbcnews.ca @science.ubc.ca

Kind of thrilled my first post on here is this paper :) Thankful for all the time spent talking seals, and reviewing and correcting model outputs! It’s a privilege to get to work with all of these amazing Knowledge holders and researchers :) 🧪

Using highest density intervals can reduce perceived uncertainty in stock assessments Sustainably managed fisheries provide conservation and socio-economic benefits. To set catch quotas, decision makers are guided by stock assessments t…

Want to reduce perceived uncertainty by billions of fish? Try highest density intervals instead of equal-tailed intervals. Can also change perception of stock health.
