We teamed up with @hawkwatch and @hawk_mountain to rank the priority raptor species for conservation action in North American countries. Check out the results in Chapter 5 of State of the World's Raptors.

Species should be prioritized for conservation based on their evolutionary history and extinction risk. In Chapter 4 of State of the World's Raptors we outline our methods for ranking raptor species for conservation action. Check it out!

In Chapter 3 of State of the World's Raptors. We created Raptor Conservation Regions by grouping countries with similar raptor species. These regions can be used to study, monitor, and conserve the world's raptors. Big thanks to @mbzraptorfund for collaboration. Check it out!

Finally someone says what I've been thinking about preprints.
Who’s with me? #PeerReview ensures the integrity of scientific knowledge.
Science isn’t social media, and it’s dangerous to treat it as such. For this reason, I believe preprints serve an anti-science agenda & threaten our fields.

Guest Post: Preprints Serve the Anti-science Agenda – This Is Why We Need Peer Review - The Scholarly Kitchen
Science is built on a foundation of rigor and credibility. Preprints are adding to the crumbling of that foundation, which is already under attack by anti-science political agendas.

No support for solar radiation as a major evolutionary driver of malar stripes in falcons
The malar stripes of falcons (Falco spp.) are often hypothesised to function by reducing the amount of solar glare reflected into the falcon's eyes while hunting, thereby aiding foraging efficiency i....
