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…

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
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!
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/
