📢 New paper in Wildlife Research!

@elenafcorr.bsky.social, PhD researcher at group, co-authors a study revealing how juvenile white sharks 🦈 & shortfin makos coexist in the Mediterranean by dividing their trophic niches.

#sharks
Trophic niche partitioning between the white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) and the shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) in the central Mediterranean Sea
Context Large predatory sharks such as the white shark (WS) and shortfin mako (SMK) have been historically depleted to Critically Endangered levels in the Mediterranean Sea. Despite their low abundanc...

📍Fieldwork day in #ALLIES project: post-breeding colony check.

No gulls remained, but we recovered the GPS from a yellow-legged gull tagged in June that sadly died.

We keep monitoring environmental health to better understand urban ecosystem dynamics 🌍🩺.

🎣Last week blue shark tagging was a big hit!
We tagged 14 individuals and got fin samples and cloacal swabs for diet 🍽️ and genetic studies🧬

This is part of the #COTI project🦈, funded by #FEMPA, #FondosEuropeos and #Pleamar

Tagging with GPSs Audouin gulls at Cullatra Island (Portugal) with Vitor H Pavia (U. Coimbra), will give us good data on the interaction with fisheries, during breeding, migration and wintering

Have you ever wondered if #AMR affects the movement behaviour of the host?🧪🧫

As a first approach, we show how #gulls carrying antibiotic-resistant E. coli show different movement patterns in travelled distances and covered areas! 👇

"There has been a progressive decline in fieldwork-based research and education in ecology over recent decades", precisely at a time when we most urgently need a better understanding of how natural systems work. So sad.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution [paywalled] www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...
Extinction of experience among ecologists
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Understanding both predation and scavenging in cities is crucial as urban sprawl accelerates. Our review highlights key geographical biases and confirms that scavenging remains largely overlooked compared to predation.
