Collecting gull pellets today, to assess diet and #plastic exposure risk in more remote gull colonies, hoping to compare these with pellets collected in gulls breeding near urbanized cities, disappointing to see so much plastic… #teamgull #plasticpollition

Starting up pellet analysis for #plastics in gulls breeding near urbanized and remote areas in the gulf of st-Lawrence 😱🐣, trying to test non-invasive techniques to monitor plastic exposure #seabirds #plasticpollution

Morning, a Razorbill with its chick on the Isle of May. It’s at this young age the chick will jump off the cliff and follow its father out to sea, away from the island. It’s a remarkable start to life.

Had a great time at #CEW2024 where I presented my poster on #plastic in herring gulls pellets collected during the 2023 breeding season! Thanks to all who came by and to Christina Petalas for attending with me <3

New paper alert! 🚨 Check out our paper on how #seabird #mercury burdens vary with foraging tactics #teamauk #Pollution We found that foraging closer to shore increased levels... Out now in STOTEN 🐣 @lavoie_raphael Kyle Elliott Rose Lacombe sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🐦 New publication alert in J. Haz Mat‼️ We found levels of UV absorbents (BZT-UVs & UVFs) in herring gull eggs across the St. Lawrence, with BZT-UV levels highest near Montreal. Herring gulls = sentinels for emerging pollutants. 👉 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #Ecotoxicology
