Large variation in wildlife responses to COVID-19 shutdowns in US National Parks. We also include some conceptual graphics on how to think about sensitive vs. habituated animals some of which benefit from being around people and others do not. doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Top right: The GPS-corrected dead-reckoned tracks of 27 penguins at sea, colored to distinguish between the outbound (red) and inbound (blue) phases of their foraging trips. Bottom: A ‘snapshot’ of the current conditions within the grid area, showing peak tidal strength during a single day as a function of the tidal cycle, including the outgoing (‘ebb’ – left panel) and incoming (‘flood’ – right panel) tides. Penguins are often subjected to strong cross-currents during these phases. The colony location is marked by a small black filled circle with a white outline.
How can magellanic #penguins navigate tidal currents while balancing #EnergyEfficiency & foraging opportunities? This study reveals how they adaptively make S-shaped return paths to their colony, optimizing travel in complex oceanic flows @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/40nKyD4

🚨 Super exited to see our paper on the inheritance and genetic basis of guppy color variation come out in @natecoevo.nature.com rdcu.be/eugWV
Guppy males have enormous variation in color patterns, with many combinations of ornamental spots and stripes. But where does all this variation come from?

Fascinating and deeply concerning: salmon exposed to anxiety meds in polluted rivers show bolder behaviour—crossing barriers more easily, but increasing their risk of predation. Human drugs are silently reshaping ecosystems.

Another great write up on our latest @science.org article, and the potential for behaviour-modifying chemicals in our waterways to affect fish populations more generally, in the @washingtonpost.com!

Benzodiazepines can help us feel like the world is a little less scary. Seems like they do the same for salmon—which probably isn't good for the fish. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪
