A person’s right to cast their ballot is the foundation of our democracy. Georgia HB 531 would limit trustworthy, safe & equal access to voting by restricting early voting & eliminating provisional ballots. That’s why Salesforce opposes HB 531 as it stands. #gapol 🗳️

Launched by Birds Caribbean in association with Birds Canada, the Caribbean Motus Collaboration is a new bird monitoring initiative aiming to enable conservation and ecological research by tracking bird movements through the use of nanotags. More: birdscaribbean.org/2021/03/the-ca…

Excited to share our new paper: Deveaux Bank, SC supports at least 19,485 Whimbrel during peak spring migration - the largest known nocturnal roost for the species. Grateful to the whole team that made this possible S.C. Dept. of Natural Resources Cornell Lab @NRSenner Wader Study UofSC Biological Sciences

Join us for a live webinar next Wednesday, June 22nd to hear about the sandbar in South Carolina that hosts nearly half of the Atlantic Whimbrel population every night during peak spring migration. S.C. Dept. of Natural Resources Cornell Lab Manomet Conservation Sciences #DiscoveryAtDeveaux

Thank you Deborah Cramer, Damon Winter & Cornell Lab for beautifully capturing why it is so important to protect Deveaux Bank. Stunning The New York Times story about our quest to better understand how Whimbrel rely on this unparalleled place. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Vaccines work in a gif: COVID19 cases versus vaccination rates in US states through time. Cases start decreasing after 30% are vaccinated. Today states with higher vaccination rates have less cases. Voted Trump = red Biden = blue. Increase in July probably due to Delta variant.

Thank goodness, hopefully this will prevent people learning that Sci-Hub which hosts 85 million scientific research papers. Absolutely do not search Google for sci-hub to gain access to 85 million scientific research papers for free. Don't retweet this. Piracy is wrong.

New in Trends in Ecology & Evolution Experiments are the gold standard for causal inference but are hard to do. The ideal experiemnt is rarely possible. What happens then for causal inference? We review 4 common violations of assumptions needed for causal inference in expts & solutions. 1/n

Want to get the most out of Movebank, but finding the user manual a bit of a slog to read? Not to worry! We're working on video tutorials for some of the site's major functions!

What role do nocturnal roost sites play in the stopover ecology of #waders like #Whimbrel? Hope you'll tune into my Wader Study talk at #IWSGconf tomorrow at 13:00 UTC!

Out today! We describe a previously unknown site in LA that concentrates spring migrants, and is one of the best and most spectacular migration sites on the Pacific flyway for birds: archive.westernfieldornithologists.org/archive/V52/52…

OHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GOSHHHHHHHHHH

nature has actually contacted me for comment about accusations that Sci-Hub is a threat, here is my full response / it is clear that academic publishers care about their money, not about security of other people

I could not be luckier to have had you by my side this season, N. Fontaine! After three months of braving nocturnal boating and noon-midnight workdays to try our darnedest to learn the ways of the Whimbrels… I think it’s time for a field season recap. 🧵 1/
