Looking for #seabirds in nesting colonies on #GranCanaria located more than 10 km from the coastline

Taxonomic distribution of all banded seabirds that were recorded in the North American Bird Banding Program dataset (1930–2023) as having died from colliding with anthropogenic structures. Recovery rate is defined as the number of collision-associated recoveries per 100,000 birds banded. Bird silhouettes generated by PhyloPic (Keesey 2024).

There's a new guest post on the WOS blog! Riley Lawson describes the backstory of his recent paper in The Wilson Journal of #Ornithology, which documents the underappreciated threat that collisions with anthropogenic structures pose to #seabirds. wilsonsociety.org/2025/07/28/g...

Street lamps aren’t the only form of artificial light pollution – here’s how to create darker nights Light Pollution is a significant environmental issue and is spreading rapidly. The good news is that it is easy to fix - find out how here…

Interesting research, suggesting poorly designed or excessive private lighting is contributing as much to ALAN pollution as street lights.
🌏🧪
This seems to be one of the few areas where our own actions can make a significant positive contribution!

Turn it off!

¡Bravo @grufian.bsky.social!
Muy identificado con sus palabras.
Estoy totalmente polarizado y soy totalmente intolerante con los malnacidos que justifican el asesinato de más de 15.000 niños y presumen de ello. Cuando pase la moda de ser mala persona se lo recordaremos.
