Have you ever wondered about the disparities in #seabirds species at conferences? Are we talking about all the species?
Wonder no more. We (@thelabandfield.bsky.social @seabirdsentinel.bsky.social @ingridpollet.bsky.social) have the answer!

Why does a pigeon-sized bird purposely throw itself into hurricane-force winds?

With the help of lightweight GPS trackers, WHOI biologist Francesco Ventura has unlocked the Desertas petrel’s secret to success: cyclones!

To celebrate 30 years of AEWA, we created a video showing the migration tracks of waterbirds GPS-tagged in Italy.

Tracking data and teamwork once again show their value for wildlife conservation.

Our study led by Timothée Poupartand and Thibaut Bettignies reveals mismatches between the Natura2000 marine network and seabird distributions, urging for better protected areas off France

A new study (link.springer.com/article/10.1...) compares the diets of Scopoli’s and Yelkouan shearwaters.

Despite a wide diet, a few pelagic fish species stood out.

Protection of spawning areas and selective fishing are needed for shearwaters and fisheries to co-exist in the region.

Because of the massive increase in #IngestedPlastic this year (number, mass and size of particles) were finding intact items inside our baby #seabirds. This means we’re able to get information on brands…including THIS! ⬇️ #SoyFish #PollutionIsADesignChoice #shearwaters

Most worryingly, we found evidence of neurodegeneration in <90-day-old seabird chicks with high levels of ingested plastic - protein expression signatures akin to what we see in human patients with dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (3/5)
Four hundred three pieces of plastic removed from sable shearwater A. carneipes 90-day-old chick. On the left are five plastic items (0.073 g) removed during lavage, and on the right are the 398 items (41.812 g) that remained inside the stomach after lavage. The 398 items could not be removed during lavage as the large volume of plastic created a blockage. Instead, these items were recorded during necropsy after the bird was deceased. Pumice (128 pieces, 6.819 g) and squid beaks (not counted) also ingested by the bird are displayed in the petri dishes

!PhD opportunity! We are recruiting a student to use biotelemetry and modelling to understand bycatch in Europe's most endangered seabird, the Balearic shearwater. If you are interested come to our online Q&A session on 12th Dec. See advert below!

At the 2024 Movecolab.it meeting @ecotos.bsky.social presented his PhD project on #plastic ingestion in Mediterranean shearwaters.

Plastic has been found in 16 out of the 18 Scopoli's shearwaters (dead for bycatch) checked last week.
Great collaboration with Susanne Kuehn and Jan van Franeker

As I just joined Bluesky, let me introduce myself! I’m an #ecologist currently based in #Italy, deeply fascinated by how #seabirds manage to thrive in the challenging marine environment.
I have a passion for working in tropical ecosystems and yes, I have a soft spot for #storm #petrels!

New paper alert!

Really excited to see this work from a postdoc with Steve Votier @heriotwattuni.bsky.social published in Ecology & Evolution!
In it, we use existing bio-logging data to study competition and facilitation in foraging gannets.
