The cons:

👉iNaturalist vastly underestimated deaths (~200 reported vs. 40,000+ confirmed)
👉Missed some species & regions, especially in remote areas
December 13, 2024 at 2:45 PM
The pros:
👉Identified key species (e.g., Northern Gannets)
👉Pinpointed hotspots & timing of high mortality

🚨 New research alert! 🚨
Can citizen science platforms like #iNaturalist help monitor wildlife disease and mortality? Our new study, published in #Ecosphere, uses the massive 2022 #avianflu outbreak in eastern Canada as a case study! 🦅https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70051

I’m a conservation scientist with Environment and Climate Change Canada. I lead research on the cumulative effects and impacts of offshore wind energy, avian influenza, and plastic pollution on seabirds.

Hi! I’m a seabird biologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada. I lead research on cumulative effects and migratory bird impacts from offshore wind energy, avian influenza, and plastic pollution.

It was simple, and now I feel like maybe I'll actually start using BlueSky. What it lacked before was the community I'd built, but I'm not actively sharing new content on X any more.

#Marineheat waves are here to stay, and @COASST data suggests that ~1.5C is correlated with increasing freq and magnitude of #seabird mass mortality events. Will this lead to a lower carrying capacity in the #NorthPacific? #ESA2022 #CSEE2022

Great talk by @oliverlovelab: Using a Thermal Polygon to predict at what temperature breeding Snow Buntings 🐦 will need to reduce activity levels to avoid overheating in a warming Arctic #climatechange #ESA2022 #CSEE2022

Chicken & other poultry (70%) vastly outweigh the ~10,000 wild bird species on the planet (30%). Yikes.

Shocking statistic about global avian biomass during the #ESA2022 #CSEE2022 plenary by @GerardoCeballos

On my way to #ESA2022 #CSEE2022 in Montreal! Like many, it’ll be my first in-person conference in awhile. Pumped to say the least! Who else is going?

To inform decisions about #seabird #conservation & #management, we are urgently asking the global community to share information about #avianinfluenza outbreaks in colonial breeding #seabirds (species, location, mortality #) here:#birdflu #HPAI #H5N1

Field work last week was great - beautiful location, great crew. We didn’t catch as many eiders as we’d hoped but that’s just how it goes sometimes!
December 13, 2024 at 4:50 PM
Eiders are in decline across the Maritimes. Next week, I'll be helping the team trying to figure out why! We start by catching these incredible seaducks and deploying satellite tags.

This week I am attending @PacificSeabirds Annual Meeting (virtually)! It’s been great catching up with other attendees, like @PetrelStation! (A little jealous that she was enjoying the sun while I was freezing

What a MASSIVE heart bursting relief it is to get my first shot of the #COVID19 #vaccine! 💉😅 #Thank you to all those that made this possible!

It was an immense pleasure working with such an incredible group of scientists on this project! Thanks @ElisaBayra for leading the way! #conservation #australia #ornithology
