Out now in Marine Biology: "From route to dive: multi-scale habitat selection in a foraging tropical seabird" π¦π

We found that red-footed booby habitat selection varied between their foraging routes in comparison to their dive locations ππ

Great #scicomm project led by my colleague Signe Christensen-Dalsgaard illustrating the dramatic declines of #seabird populations in Norway.
The article is in Norwegian but the photos speak for themselves.

Really cool paper by @anflack.bsky.socialβs group providing strong support for the βexploration-refinementβ hypothesis - the idea that learning shapes how individual #migration routes develop in long-lived species.

Fresh off the press: new study on winter-feeding and migratory strategies of Atlantic puffins and black-legged kittiwakes from RΓΈst, Norway #seabirds #migration #stableisotopes
link.springer.com/article/10.1...
The migration tracking programme of @seapop.bsky.social, SEATRACK, are now deploying geolocators on large numbers of juvenile seabirds including puffins, so in a few years we should know much more about the post fledging movements of North Atlantic seabirds!

Happy to see this new #seabird paper out in SEABIRD (Early Release)
'Post-fledging movements of Atlantic Puffins from Skomer Island'
Very small sample size but interesting first insight into what puffins get up to after leaving their nest!
