Opportunities and challenges for new technologies in seabird population monitoring Abstract. Monitoring of seabird population size and demography has for decades relied on observer-based methods. While such methods have allowed the accumu

Thank you to my co-authors and field friends from @lec-reefs.bsky.social and beyond for all their help bringing this piece of work together 🌊

My first paper is out! 🥳🐠🐟

Listen up anyone working in the Irish Sea this summer! We tagged a bunch of kitts in Liverpool Bay and want to gather as many resightings as we can. If you spot these yellow colour rings please give me a shout (dla205@exeter.ac.uk) 🐦💍💛

New open access paper! Led by Joshua Coste

Results show tropical seabirds meet diurnal constraints by navigating efficiently back to low-lying reef atoll colonies

New paper! @jappliedecology.bsky.social
https://bit.ly/3C5gYJp
We mapped out the migrations of over 10K ind ⚫-tailed godwits (!) to characterize connectivity between sites in Europe and Africa.
We compiled tracking data, ring recoveries and resightings: >400K records in total! (1/5)
