Short-eared #owl = our new study species on #Galapagos. We want to understand how movement, activity and predation patterns change when compared before & after eradication of #invasivespecies on #floreanaisland

Monitoring Short-Eared Owls on the Galapagos. Here footage from a #Reconyx #trailcamera which turned out to be a reliable tool in the field in recording prey provisioning rates and prey species. Being part of the @BirdLabFlinders & @KLF_UniVienna team #birdwatching #ornithology

EO Wilson passed away age 92 after a lifetime of being an incredible inspiration for any biologist, leaving behind a legacy - not just in books and publications that changed how we view evolution and island biology. RIP

6. #BOUasm21 #BREAK3 Global-scale comparative analysis with before-after-control-impact (#BACI) study design across species & regions #GARRN will inspire innovative #management strategies for threatened raptors. We welcome collective expertise of #raptor researchers & enthusiasts

5. #BOUasm21 #BREAK3 Predictions: reduced traffic & #roadkill as food resource & cause of mortality. Strongest responses where human #footprint is highest? expected @urbanraptors & in those sensitive to human activity (including #persecution)? expected @anthroraptors #scavengers

4. #BOUasm21 #BREAK3 #GARRN seeks raptor #monitoring data ideally from #banding projects: occupancy, #phenology, #productivity, diet, breeding age, re-sightings & survival, causes of mortality etc. Data managed with @peregrinefundfor global-scale analysis

3. #BOUasm21 #BREAK3 #GARRN seeks #biologging data in collaboration with #raptor sub-project of @biologging initiative to infer spatial & temporal responsesand to link these patterns to demographic outcomes: Do you host any productivity & survival data?

2. #BOUasm21 #BREAK3 Conceptual Framework where #lockdowns during #pandemic influence human #recreation activity but not human #footprint will help disentangle underlying mechanisms of #raptor responses to humans. Sparked by @biologging we took initiative

Tune into @CJWMcClure 's plenary #RRF2021 now! About the future of @peregrinefund and where our new collaboration with #GARRN @anthroraptors is going! Exciting times ahead - and hopefully some important steps toward effective management plans to conserve our #endangered #Raptors

Today I am speaking at the #Raptor #Research conference #RRF2021 in @CJWMcClure 's #conservation symposium to introduce #GARRN the Global #Anthropause Raptor Research Network, a collaboration with @peregrinefund & @biologging founded to inform the protection of birds of prey
