Out now in Marine Biology: "From route to dive: multi-scale habitat selection in a foraging tropical seabird" 🐦🐟

doi.org/10.1007/s002...

We found that red-footed booby habitat selection varied between their foraging routes in comparison to their dive locations 🌊🌞
Image shows the journal title 'Marine Biology' as well as the paper title 'From route to dive: multi-scale habitat selection in a foraging tropical seabird', the author list (Ruth Dunn, Robin Freeman, Malcolm Nicoll, Julia Ramsden, Alice Trevail, Hannah Wood and Steve Votier), a map of red-footed booby foraging tracks and dive bout locations, a photo of a red-footed booby and some text that reads 'Red-footed booby dive bout dynamics vary across their foraging journeys and are impacted by environmental conditions and the diurnal cycle'

Great #scicomm project led by my colleague Signe Christensen-Dalsgaard illustrating the dramatic declines of #seabird populations in Norway.

The article is in Norwegian but the photos speak for themselves.

Hvorfor forsvinner fuglene fra fuglefjellene Syltefjord, Runde, Røst og Hornøya?
På 50 år har 8 av 10 fugler forsvunnet fra de norske fuglefjellene.

Really cool paper by @anflack.bsky.social’s group providing strong support for the “exploration-refinement” hypothesis - the idea that learning shapes how individual #migration routes develop in long-lived species.

Happy to see this new #seabird paper out in SEABIRD (Early Release)

'Post-fledging movements of Atlantic Puffins from Skomer Island'

Very small sample size but interesting first insight into what puffins get up to after leaving their nest!
