Our new paper published today in Current Biology shows that immediate international cooperation is needed to conserve the eastern North American monarch butterfly.

I see the @dmennill.bsky.social hammer and the post-hammer but where is the pre-hammer? Maybe @liamtaylor.bsky.social knows??

I wonder if something has been beating up on the Kent Island gulls? This one looks like it had a rough night. Now that he’s here, maybe @liamtaylor.bsky.social knows? #GullOfTheDay

This Gull was hanging out at the singles area on Kent Island. I'm flummoxed on this one. Maybe @liamtaylor.bsky.social can offer some advice! #GullOfTheDay

Hard to ID this bird with its head in a hole. Anyone got any ideas? I waited forever and it never came out. Maybe it thought it was hiding.

This is a #Gull(Poster)OfTheDay. The sole author of this poster is wondering if these data might be critical for @liamtaylor.bsky.social and maybe they could collaborate in the future. The poster will stay up on KI for reference. @dmennill.bsky.social

Wait! You thought we were done #GullOfTheDay? Not a chance. This juvenile gull is our #GullOfTheDay. It’s eating another dead juvenile. Please consult @liamtaylor.bsky.social for more answers to this unusual behaviour. @dmennill.bsky.social

This #GullOfTheDay has been looking at its feet for 23 minutes today. What do you think it’s doing? Tell us your guess and make sure to include our gull expert and founder of #GullOfTheDay @liamtaylor.bsky.social

There is lots of extra incentive to follow #GullOfTheDay. Here, for example, Gull headquarters would like you all to find the Gull in this picture! Who is up for the challenge?

Yet another way to highlight #GullOfTheDay, brought to you by the NY Times. @liamtaylor.bsky.social @dmennill.bsky.social

#GullOfTheDay Many gulls like to hang out in the grass but this gull prefers the path. The real mystery is “why” but don’t worry, we’re on it! I’ll provide updates here. @liamtaylor.bsky.social @dmennill.bsky.social
