New open access paper! Led by Joshua Coste

Results show tropical seabirds meet diurnal constraints by navigating efficiently back to low-lying reef atoll colonies

Exciting PhD opportunity to investigate tropical seabird migration strategies with Malcolm Nicoll at the Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Excellent week at #CoimbraSeabirds! Lots of exciting science and great scientists! Well done to fellow @exetercec.bsky.social @exetermarine.bsky.social on fantastic presentations & thanks to ECOTOP and @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social for organising!

ExMove can help you:
- Process raw tracking data files into a standardised format for archive & analyses
- Determine appropriate filters for removing erroneous data
- Identify central-place foraging trips in your data
- Calculate useful summary metrics for publications

New paper! If you use animal tracking data, this one's for you!

Proud of this collaboration with fellow @exetercec.bsky.social ECRs @liamlangley1.bsky.social, Stephen Lang, & Luke Ozsanlav-Harris to aid reproducible coding in biologging

New insight into tropical seabird foraging ecology led by @ruthedunn.bsky.social

Red-footed boobies select foraging habitat at different scales, responding to environments available at sea & encountered on route

Out now & open access: doi.org/10.1007/s002...

We also found interesting differences in trip timings...

Birds left the colony earlier in the day from larger colonies / when undertaking multi-day (rather than single-day) trips / if they were female

New-ish paper! Published last month (I was on holiday!) alongside Hannah Wood, @ruthedunn.bsky.social, @robinfreeman.bsky.social, and others 🪶🦑

Red-footed boobies showed colony segregation in foraging range, space use, and timing

DOI: doi.org/10.3354/meps... / let us know if you want the pdf!

We found that divergent habitat use & itinerancy preclude localised aggregations = high seas conservation will be key to protect this important assemblage!

New paper: Tracking seabird migration in the tropical Indian Ocean reveals basin-scale conservation need
