Post log and anaconda

Playing with the GPS data from 4 Peruvian pelicans and 1 band-tailed gull, here's how their habitat use has been changing over the months. Approaching the breeding season, pelicans use more open ocean habitat and less human dependent habitat. Gulls visit landfills more often.

Even Peruvian seabirds are centralized around Lima!

They came all the way from Chimbote, Ancón and Paracas, and seem to be prospecting for nesting colonies.

Most pelican breeding colonies were either wiped out or the nests abandoned during the last HPAI outbreak

There are no #Alouatta silhouettes in #Phylopic :/

Ahead of the wargaming conference, Rear Admiral Luis del Carpio graciously led the guest speakers and panelists to explore the history and art of Peru at the Museo Larco. It was an absolute delight especially with such a diverse cohort - ranging from Italy to Chile.

Hi! My name is Christina Winters and I’m an aspiring wildlife biologist who currently works for CDFW on a small team monitoring the gray wolf population in the state as it evolves and expands. I’m always open to learning and would love to connect and continue to grow!

Is there any relation between time of day and nutrients in leaves? Looking into activity patterns of a folivore...

Are leaves more nutritious around noon?

I'm Diego and I work in diverse research projects in Peru, including camera trapping the rainforest and more recently wildlife tracking. I'm looking for funded PhD positions in Europe or Australia, so let me know if we have matching interests!

Science on Bluesky is growing rapidly!

Science friends, introduce yourselves below and I’ll share! Who are you? What do you work on? Where are you based?

I’ll go first. I’m David, and I study sharks and their conservation. I’m based in the Washington, DC area.

Small business + collab with local students. We share ideas of pilot studies and we finally have funds and hands to test small projects. With the help of wildlife.pe we're collaborating with students form Cusco who are testing a Mostela and AHDrift system in the Peruvian Amazon

We have also started a monitoring program of Andean condors in Peru. We participated in a release of a rescued sub-adult male a month ago in Arequipa, and hope to continue working with the authorities in the future to track rescued wildlife and study their success.

Manuel, our Peruvian gull (Larus belcheri), is drastically changing its movement behavior as the breeding season (September) begins! You can follow it on the
Animal Tracker app (Android, iOS)! Look it up flying around Lima and the San Lorenzo island.

It was tagged w/ an ICARUS SigFox GPS backpack

OMG. The Bear cam helped rescue a lost hiker.

For my first post here, I'll share some information on what we're currently working on in Peru.

We're testing new GPS tags that work on the ICARUS SigFox IoT network. We're tracking Peruvian pelicans after they were hit hard by the HPAI outbreak, and are currently struggling with El Niño
