Looking forward to sharing my work on extinct pelicans in England tomorrow and discussing conservation-relevant applications and the future of museum collections! #BOUasm25 🧪

I had an amazing time presenting my preliminary PhD research on pelican palaeoecology at the @cpeg-cpb25.bsky.social in Zurich! Saw fascinating presentations, learned a lot, and met many inspiring people working to bridge the gap between palaeontology, ecology, and conservation!

Today I visited the collections at the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery to sample historical cormorants for stable isotope analysis, which will allow me to contextualize the data I have generated for extinct pelicans in England and determine their past ecology/diet to inform a potential reintroduction.

Cannot wait to share my isotope data on pelican palaeoecology and its relevance for informing species reintroductions at @cpeg-cpb25.bsky.social in Zurich this summer! Hope to see you there :)

This week I learned about stable isotope ecology in Siracusa, Sicily alongside PhD students from around the world doing exciting and important research to better understand ecological systems and change through space and time.

Had an amazing time learning about ongoing species conservation projects at the ZSL Science and Conservation Conference today, and lots of fun at the pub quiz with my fellow zoology nerds #ZSL

Learning how to clean & drill pelican bones from the Iron Age before starting isotope analysis! #FossilFriday #birds #palaeontology

Tonight at ZSL, Dr. Sam Turvey highlighted that the success or failure of species recovery comes down to utilizing evidence-based data to make quick and informed decisions. I look forward to generating evidence-based data to support sturgeon and pelican species #zsltalks #conservation #palaeontology

I spent my day looking at bird bones in Tring :) pleased to see there is much more security now since the feather thief scandal (great book, highly recommend)

On the way to Tring to visit the bird 🦉🪶 collections at the natural history museum! Hoping to determine IDs for some unidentified bird material to understand how British wetland ecosystems have changed over the past several millennia! 🧪 #birds #zooarchaeology

Hi! My name is Lucia and I’m a PhD student at the Zoological Society of London & University of Reading researching range collapse dynamics of pelican and sturgeon in Europe over the past several millennia using radiocarbon dating, stable isotopes, and ancient DNA! 🧪 #conservation #palaeontology
