Small step in tech needed to upscale tropical island eradications! Our new paper in Biological Invasions outlines the tech needed to eradicate rats from islands with large areas of mangroves - currently a major barrier for tropical island eradications. The paper is available at: rdcu.be/euJjf

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'
