Our publication out today shows the Lord Howe population of Flesh-footed Shearwater is in recovery. We used novel spatial patterns during the survey to test whether proximity to road or human habitation was still influencing population dynamics. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Heart-BREAKING NEWS 💔 Our team confirms 1st death of a #CriticallyEndangered ADULT #Tristanalbatross caused by #invasive mice. The female was the 2nd oldest breeder of the species known & leaves behind a chick to be raised alone by the remaining parent: bit.ly/2S9fMNU

NEW PAPER🌊We quantified #seabird foraging associations with localised evolving #turbulence (boils & vortices) using #HMMs. @RolandLangrock Prof Alex Nimmo Smith #Drones tracked #terns & surface flows using #MachineLearning & #PIV The Royal Society doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… The Bryden Centre

Another great study using biologgers to link contaminant levels with seabird movement, led by Akiko Shoji Shannon Whelan & many others. tl;dr: seabirds can carry mercury long distances and deposit in terrestrial ecosystems. authors.elsevier.com/c/1c~IczLNSYJfV

🆕An amazing collaborative work led by BirdLife reveals a major seabird hotspot in the North Atlantic high seas used by up to 5 million birds! This area is now being considered as a Marine Protected Area – this would make it the first high seas MPA identified from tracking data!

#WSC3 Want to learn about the #movement behavior of non-breeding northern gannets in the #nwatlantic? Come check out my talk happening shortly in the 'Tracking II' session! #Seabird #tracking

The Arctic Skua is the UK’s fastest-declining seabird, with > 80% lost since 1986. At #WSC3 today, BTO Scotland’s Liz Humphreys Liz Humphreys will present GPS data that show Arctic Skuas have begun to forage further from their breeding colonies #seabirds #BTOScience #TeamSkua

Excited to present our work "Foraging range scales with seabird colony size" in Symposium 3 - Unravelling fundamental processes in seabird ecology: The role of multi-colony studies III starting at 00:15 UTC. But, I think most of my co-authors will already be🛌! #TearmAuk #WSC3

Our very own Daniel Johnston Daniel Johnston is talking at #WSC3 today (12.15 UCT) about his work GPS tracking Black Guillemots to investigate their foraging behaviour in relation to tidal stream turbines. Project carried out at eri with Eric Amsden #seabirds #renewables #BTOScience

#JobAlert Want to come work with a great team at Biodiversity Research Institute? We are currently hiring for a #quantitative #ecologist position to work on a range of projects relating to #renewableenergy development and the effects of #anthropogenic activities on #wildlife briwildlife.org/about-us/emplo…

At CWW2022, Christopher Pollock presents rich data set on individual foraging site fidelity (IFSF) in gannets built into IBM to inform #offshorewind effects on #seabirds. He nicely describes ways in which it arises: visual detection, private information and public information. CWW2022

If you're at #CWW2022 this week, make sure to visit Ros Green's poster on #waterfowl interactions with offshore wind farms If you have seen ducks, geese and swans passing through developments or during migration at sea please get in touch! 🦆 BTO

1) I'm happy to share our latest paper published in Environmental Pollution. We examined potential effects of perfluoroalkyl acids on thyroid hormones & fitness-associated traits in thick-billed murres, an #Arctic #seabird experiencing #climate change. authors.elsevier.com/a/1euEczLNSc7F…
