What are the effects of tagging on fishes? 🐟

Our review + meta-analysis explores intracoelomic tagging effects in fishes. We summarize the existing literature and examine the 2% rule using evidence from a broad representation of all published studies.

Think #stormpetrels just wing it to find a meal? 🍽️ Think again! Finally, our study is out: these tiny #seabirds use ocean dynamics to find #foraging grounds in the #WestMed. And guess what? Well-placed #MPAs help keep their ‘favorite restaurants’ open.🧑‍🍳 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

To me, this is such an important message, as so many ecologists seem (paradoxically) to lose their connection with nature as they get promoted up the career ladder. Time spent in nature, especially if together with the next generation of ecologists, is time very well spent.

Have you ever wondered how a #shearwater fledgling flies from its nest to the places where they are grounded by #LightPollution?
We've used GPSs with remote download to track their flights & published this paper doi.org/10.3389/fevo...

Amazing to receive updates from Jens-kjeld on our Storm-petrels in their nestboxes on Nólsoy (Faroe Islands). Amidst the snow and blizzards, the parents keep visiting to feed these fluff balls, and we now only have two chicks left to fledge! I really hope they make it...

🦉🪶 Beautiful in red, white and black. And quite noisy when they're nesting just overhead on your office roof. But I love the sound. Reminds me of the beach, even 120km inland. (scholekster, Haematopus ostralegus)

In case you missed it, I wrote a story for @hakaimagazine.bsky.social about why seabird couples break up. Sometimes it's incompatible personalities; sometimes it's climate change. 🪶🧪🌎 hakaimagazine.com/news/these-b...

Personalities play a role in whether seabirds “divorce”—but sometimes climate change does, too.

On a breezy beach day along the Eastern Seaboard, there's a good chance you'll run into a somewhat particular shorebird—the American Oystercatcher.
