New paper! Terns differ in how they respond to changes in prey availability in the Gulf of Maine, with implications for the growth of their chicks. Isotopes + provisioning watches show that terns face trade-offs between prey quality & foraging distance.

I’m Tasha- I’m a seabird ecologist working in one of the fastest warming regions of the ocean. I’m faculty at a small teaching college in PA- so most of my time is spent teaching, mentoring, and doing research with (awesome) undergrads. Your #esa2025 talk motivated me to set up my acct!
