New paper-size matters! Our team showed even though highly mobile, turtles, mantas & seabirds all protected by very large #MPA around Chagos Archipelago. Led by @alicetrevail.bsky.social @exetermarine.bsky.social, @ruthedunn.bsky.social @zslofficial.bsky.social news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-e...

Chagos study highlights value of vast Marine Protected Areas

Large ocean animals can be protected throughout much of their lifecycle by huge Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), new research shows. Scientists tracked sea turtles, manta rays and seabirds – all of whic...

New paper alert! Really excited to see this work from a postdoc with Steve Votier @heriotwattuni.bsky.social published in Ecology & Evolution! In it, we use existing bio-logging data to study competition and facilitation in foraging gannets. Link to paper here: dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Competition and Facilitation Influence Central Place Foraging Ecology in a Colonial Marine Predator

Analysis of combined deployments of GPS loggers with cameras or temperature–depth recorders reveals that despite experiencing intraspecific competition for food, northern gannets engage in dynamic, c...

Atolls are vital for seabirds - and vice versa! 🐦🏝️💞 Check out my Nature Ecology & Evolution News & Views article: nature.com/articles/s41... 📸 Nathan Hudson-Peacock; sooty terns on an atoll island.

Atolls are vital for seabirds and vice versa - Nature Ecology & Evolution

Predictive modelling based on a global dataset reveals that atolls sustain 31.2 million breeding tropical seabirds. This vast assemblage of birds probably acts as a major nutrient pump, which highligh...

Really proud of our new guide to processing and exploring animal tracking data in R which has just been published in @animalecology.bsky.social! If you work with animal tracking data or have a student that does then please read and share! Lots of useful code and a shiny app for data vis!

Alice Trevail@alicetrevail.bsky.social · 2y ago

New paper! If you use animal tracking data, this one's for you! Proud of this collaboration with fellow @exetercec.bsky.social ECRs @liamlangley1.bsky.social, Stephen Lang, & Luke Ozsanlav-Harris to aid reproducible coding in biologging Open Access @animalecology.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/58k2fa7u

Out now in Marine Biology: "From route to dive: multi-scale habitat selection in a foraging tropical seabird" 🐦🐟 doi.org/10.1007/s002... We found that red-footed booby habitat selection varied between their foraging routes in comparison to their dive locations 🌊🌞

Image shows the journal title 'Marine Biology' as well as the paper title 'From route to dive: multi-scale habitat selection in a foraging tropical seabird', the author list (Ruth Dunn, Robin Freeman, Malcolm Nicoll, Julia Ramsden, Alice Trevail, Hannah Wood and Steve Votier), a map of red-footed booby foraging tracks and dive bout locations, a photo of a red-footed booby and some text that reads 'Red-footed booby dive bout dynamics vary across their foraging journeys and are impacted by environmental conditions and the diurnal cycle'

Struggling seabirds thrown a lifeline by new commercial fishing ban in the North Sea – but it may not be enough theconversation.com/struggling-s... Excellent article by @ruthedunn.bsky.social in The Conversation

Struggling seabirds thrown a lifeline by new commercial fishing ban in the North Sea – but it may not be enough

Many seabird colonies around UK coastlines struggle to breed because the sandeels they feed on have been overfished. The upcoming closure of sandeel fisheries will be good news for marine wildlife.
