🚨 Paper Alert!
Interesting study by @icmcsic.bsky.social: 97% of bottom trawl hauls in the NW Mediterranean contained marine litter. A massive and persistent problem on fishing grounds.

Linking marine litter from land sources to its spatial distribution on fishing grounds in the NW Mediterranean Sea
Marine litter (ML), predominantly originating from land, tends to accumulate on the seabed, where it is often caught unintentionally by bottom trawler…

🧵 Did you know gulls can carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria?

We studied whether this “silent infection” affects their movement. Do they travel less? Use different habitats? 🧬🌍

Have you ever wondered if #AMR affects the movement behaviour of the host?🧪🧫

As a first approach, we show how #gulls carrying antibiotic-resistant E. coli show different movement patterns in travelled distances and covered areas! 👇
