We decided an experimental approach to this question could be cool. So Andrew strapped a taxidermied badger on top of an RC cart and drove the cart toward incubating curlews both while playing prairie dog ground-based predator calls and not (control).

We lovingly call this the badgerinator.

Fantastic new review out highlighting the importance of #seabirds and the Circular Seabird Economy, for healthy marine- terrestrial ecosystems globally, and for local communities reliant on marine resources. 📚🏝️🐟

I am very excited to share that we have a new paper out today in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com

In it, we summarize the state of knowledge on the Circular Seabird Economy!

Just learnt a new concept and phrase - the "circular seabird economy", and love it. This is economy in the true sense, related to ecology and real world *limited* resources (rather than imaginary, unlimited ones, what politicians and the rich people they serve have convinced us "economy" is).

Estimated numbers of black-legged kittiwakes nesting on oil and gas platforms in UK and Irish waters suggest these are important breeding sites 🪹

I wasn’t a fan of this format at the last SER. Takes away from the fun engagement and freedom to walk the aisles and check results at any level after a long day of talks

Agree 100%, a couple I wanted to check occurred unfortunately at the same time, and some of the posters were difficult to read on the screen

Agreed. I think the upside of posters is the opportunity to engage with folks 1:1 that was lost with this format.

Fun talk by @andyjboyce.bsky.social on the importance of monitoring in restored sites, especially those that have huge spatial scales. The importance of, and difficulty of monitoring has been a common theme of many talks here.

Maybe I’m just an old curmudgeon but I don’t know about the “posters” at #ser2025. Essentially they were all just flash talks in different rooms so they lacked the informal conversation that is so amazing about posters. And prevented us from seeing multiple at once.

What did everyone else think?

Hope back to school season is treating you all well! I had an energizing week back in the classroom.

I always have students respond to a fun poll to take attendance in my larger classes and yesterday I did one where students could use their creativity.
