Delighted by this news - such a great journal which does so much more for its authors than simply publishing their papers.

New paper: Proximity to forest mediates trade-offs between yields and biodiversity of birds in oil palm smallholdings in Ghana onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bt… @Darwin_Defra Leeds Eco&Evol Res

What a team!👏🤗

It does now! Well done, team: excellent work👏🤗

🎊NEW PAPER 🎊 Ever wondered what juvenile gannets get up to after they fledge? We tracked 38 juveniles from #bassrock with GPS precision to examine survival, initial movements & migration 🪦🐦🌍 Find out in our Marine Ecology Progress Series (MEPS) #openaccess paper doi.org/10.3354/meps13…

This blows my mind. We emitted the same amount CO2 in 12 years from 2010-2021 as the total emitted from the start of the Industrial Revolution till 1971.

Here is my more nuanced take on the “splatometer” of insect declines. Declines are worrying of course but hyperbole is not helpful. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Sadly, avian flu is now confirmed in gannets from the #BassRock We continue to track how the disease is spreading within the colony. The scale of impact may not be known for some time, but reports in other affected species suggest a high level of mortality Very worrying times

Thousands of seabirds in colonies across the country are dying with bird flu. A lethal strain of the virus has found its way from poultry into seabirds and it's been spreading fast over the last few weeks. alex thomson reports. channel4.com/news/thousands…

Fantastic news! As of today a Red Kite found shot on a grouse moor in County Durham is flying free once more. Thanks to the member of the public who found it, and jean thorpe for her expert care - without which this bird wouldn't have had a chance. One of the lucky ones.

Botanist Irene Manton FRS was born #OnThisDay in 1904. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1961 for her work on the ultramicroscopic structure of plants and on their evolution, and was the first female president of the Linnean Society. bit.ly/3GL23mM

So pleased to be able to share our work on HPAI and northern gannets ... a big collaborative effort!

That hotspot in the North Sea is a key foraging area for Bass #gannets. Wonder what the impact could be for a colony already under pressure from #HPAI Scottish Seabird Centre Maggie Sheddan Jude Lane #seabirds
