Come join us to follow rehabilitated seals and look at dive behavior and potential interactions with fisheries. SeaMonitor MaREI Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC

We are starting up #factfriday for the Southern Ocean! Did you know that there is more than one type of Killer whale? In the Southern Ocean there are a number of different ecotypes each with their own unique diet! #SouthernOcean #MEASO #killerwhale #Antarctic

Traversing a sea-ice highway to one of the most spectacular penguin colonies on Earth – what an #Antarctic #adventure! Mawson station expeditioners recently drove tracked snow vehicles 60 kilometres to Auster emperor #Penguin rookery. #Breathtaking 📷 K De Laive and J Wallace

This is a picture of a gentoo penguin which is roughly the size of a two year old human.... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Congratulations to Drs Nat Bool and Vicki Hamilton!! 🎉🎉 Two accomplished MPred Lab IMAS graduates spread their wings!! Can’t wait to hear about what’s next!! karen evans

Are you going to be International Penguin Conference when it kicks off this coming Saturday in #Dunedin? Members of AustralasianSeabirds will be holding an informal get-together at the conference. We'll keep you posted about the date and time when they're locked in. #IPC10 #Penguin

Cool job alert: #Lecturer or Senior Lecturer position in the area of Population Genetics and Conservation University of Portsmouth UoPSchool of Biology bit.ly/33S28jE

What are penguins plotting at sea? Prof. Pierre Pistorius talks about the AT SEA VOCALIZATION OF PENGUINS at the 10th International Penguin Conference in Dunedin, New Zealand. #ipc10 #MAPRU #SocialForaging #Penguins #PENGUINRESEARCH #CMR #NelsonMandela #CapeNature #CNRS

Climate change could reduce Antarctica’s penguin population by 30% as a key food source shrinks. One option: changing how we harvest #krill. pew.org/2FB8jLO #IPC10

Penguin ecologists should consider adding health monitoring to their toolbox, looking into the individual, to help answer questions about what is affecting penguins #IPC10

Our new research out in BMC Ecology: Preferred small-scale foraging areas of two Southern Ocean fur seal species are not determined by habitat characteristics. Here: cutt.ly/ywFFWKi #habitatuse #marinepredator Marion Island Seals Prof. Mary-Anne Lea

Where do humpback whales in Western Australia go to feed when they migrate south? Now we know. A new paper just published in Scientific Reports by a team from antarctica.gov.au, IMAS, CSIRO, @DPIRDWA and @FisheriesWA >> nature.com/articles/s4159…

The Bird Island team have almost finished ringing all of the #wanderer chicks 🐣 Ringing is essential for monitoring our #albatross as it allows researchers to identify each bird using unique IDs. We don't know about you, but we could tell Greta from a mile off! 📸: Derren Fox

Hallo! This week will be all about Antarctic seals. Fun facts about a different species for each day! If you've ever had a question about seals, now is your time to ask. Here is a fantastic image by Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition of the #seals that breed or forage in #Antarctica. #funfacts

Congratulations to all the awardees & especially to Mia Wege, PhD who is coming to IMAS to work with me & MPred Lab IMAS on Antarctic fur seal ecology!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)

Working out the final details before announcing #AniMove 2020 - already thinking about potential keynotes and invited lecturers - any suggestions from your side? #animalmovement #remotesensing #rspatial
