Desastre en Málaga. Tras llegar agotados de la migración y pasar varios días de lluvia, donde no encuentran alimento, decenas de vencejos reales se amontonan en fachadas. Pero algunos están tan exhaustos que no aguantan y caen. Llevamos 18 rescatados en lo que va de día. 😢

Huge win for our seabirds!

All Scottish waters and the English North Sea are now CLOSED to industrial sandeel trawling.

That means more fish for seabird beaks.

After a quarter century of campaigning, we're delighted GOV.UK and Scottish Government have put these closures in place.

At last, published in Movement Ecology, our paper on Arctic Skua migration! This paper has been about 8 yrs in the making, is the result of a large international collaboration and was a chapter in my PhD thesis. In this multi-colony ... rdcu.be/dCbRS #teamskua 1/9

The timing of the peak cherry tree blossom is influenced by spring temperatures.

Based on data from Japan stretching back to the year 812 (!), we see that in recent centuries the peak blossom has gradually moved earlier in the year—due to higher temperatures from climate change.

As Matt is reposting his article that suggests biodiversity recovery is an inevitable consequence of business as usual capitalism, here is a paper I wrote debunking it:

Terrible news from South Georgia - #HPAI has spread to Wandering #albatrosses . 50 adult birds died so far #seabirds #avianflu acap.aq/latest-news/hi…

From wildebeest herds churning dust to shorebirds flying from Siberia, these iconic animal migrations could soon be a memory.

As researchers from UQ News write, human exploitation of migratory species is the main reason why they are in decline. theconversation.com/the-worlds-spe…

How can ecology make transferable predictions in a changing and data-deficient world? I hope to make this the most interesting PhD I have ever supervised. Applications now open! #Transferability #FundamentalNiche #SDM #Ecology #Statistics UofG_SBOHVM

While during the pandemic I was a 🥔 that mostly travelled between the fridge and the couch, this 150 g seabird migrated >55,000 km from Chile to Japan and back across the vast Pacific Ocean!

Stoked to have published in Science Magazine, but this is not a happy Letter. Portuguese farmland birds are in an all-time low, and the Ministries of Agricultura PT and Ambiente e Ação Climática PT must act together ASAP to make farmlands biodiverse, Healthy and functional again.
