Has anyone else let a career milestone slip by quietly? Let's hear about it! 🧪
Dr. Stephanie Avery-Gomm@saverygo.bsky.social · last yr.I recently realized I’ve crossed a milestone I almost missed: 50 peer-reviewed publications! 📑📑📑📑📑 This milestone crept up slowly, quietly, in between drafts and revisions and collaborations — and if I’m honest, I nearly talked myself out of acknowledging it at all. 🤷♀️

Avian flu has had devastating consequences on many seabird populations, but after disastrous breeding seasons in 2022-2023, Roseate Terns on Coquet island, UK, produced more chicks in 2024 than ever before. Good news for one of our rarest seabirds. www.rarebirdalert.co.uk/v2/Content/C...

A colony of one of the UK’s rarest breeding seabirds, devastated by Avian Influenza in 2022 and 2023 has produced more chicks than ever before

We humbly interrupt your scroll to bring you the news that Wisdom—the world's oldest known wild bird—is breeding again, age 74. Go on girl. 😍
Skúgvoy seabird populations: Fulmar -89% Kittiwake -87% Arctic skua -84% since 2001! #seabirds and all these species are legal to hunt year roynd 🧪🌍
Dr Sjúrður Hammer@sjurdur.bsky.social · 2y agoHappy to share this quite monumental paper on the birdlife of my favorite island in the whole world - Skúgvoy or "skua island" Long story short, seabird declines are drastic and accelerating. Terrestrial bird populations are generally more stable. #seabirds 🧪🌍 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
The devastating toll of H5N1 on wild birds is hard to fathom, and sadly, they're not alone. Honoured to contribute to this @nytimes.com story alongside colleagues* working to understand this crisis. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/s... * @duckswabber.bsky.social @johannaharvey.bsky.social
For Wild Animals, the Bird Flu Disaster Is Already Here
Scientists are concerned that the H5N1 virus could set off another human pandemic. But it is already putting species under pressure in the wild.

A question: Are "Community Science" and "Citizen Science" interchangeable? What country are you from? I'm hungry for a global perspective. I've heard arguments that 'Community Science" is more inclusive, but only among US colleagues. #ornithology @eBird @iNaturalist

Up early this morning to attend the @JNCC_UK @_BTO workshop on #HPAI. Learning so much about the excellent coordination and response in the UK over the past year. #marineornithology #seabirds #wildbirds
On Baccalieu Island NL this week studying Leach’s Storm-Petrels! This #seabird is declining across Atlantic Canada. The GPS tags we are retrieving will offer a glimpse of where they forage during chick rearing. PS: The chicks are super floofy ♥️ instagram.com/reel/Cip7iBcvk…
Stephanie Avery-Gomm on Instagram: "This week I am lucky to be in #Newfoundland supporting a ECCC study on Leach’s Storm Petrels. Atlantic populations of this #seabird are in sharp decline.

A pretty dire sight. #AvianInfluenza at work t.co/0Rz0DwS7Xm
To inform decisions about #seabird #conservation & #management, we are urgently asking the global community to share information about #avianinfluenza outbreaks in colonial breeding #seabirds (species, location, mortality #) here:#birdflu #HPAI #H5N1 tinyurl.com/seabirdHPAIV
If you work with wild #birds or enjoy #birdwatching in North America: be informed, be prepared, and take appropriate action should you observe birds you suspect may be infected with #HPAI! Learn more here:#BirdFlu #avianflu #ornithology americanornithology.org/highly-pathoge…
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI): An emerging disease threat in North America - American Ornithological Society
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is an ecologically and economically significant avian disease that is quickly spreading among wild and domestic birds throughout North America. In this blog post, we provide information and resources that can help you to be informed, be prepared, and be ready to take appropriate action should you observe wild birds that may be affected by HPAI.

In our @PLOSSustain paper "Reconceptualizing Conservation" we reorient & repurpose the term '#conservation' in ways that better reflect what contemporary conservation is or might aspire to be.Thanks to @SJC_fishy for leading! dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…
Reconceptualizing conservation
Early definitions of conservation focused largely on the end goals of protection or restoration of nature, and the various disciplinary domains that contribute to these ends. Conservation science and practice has evolved beyond being focused on just issues of scarcity and biodiversity decline. To better recognize the inherent links between human behaviour and conservation, “success” in conservation is now being defined in terms that include human rights and needs. We also know that who engages in conservation, and how, dictates the likelihood that conservation science will be embraced and applied to yield conservation gains. Here we present ideas for reconceptualizing conservation. We emphasize the HOW in an attempt to reorient and repurpose the term in ways that better reflect what contemporary conservation is or might aspire to be. To do so, we developed an acrostic using the letters in the term “CONSERVATION” with each serving as an adjective where C = co-produced, O = open, N = nimble, S = solutions-oriented, E = empowering, R = relational, V = values-based, A = actionable, T = transdisciplinary, I = inclusive, O = optimistic, and N = nurturing. For each adjective, we briefly describe our reasoning for its selection and describe how it contributes to our vision of conservation. By reconceptualizing conservation we have the potential to center how we do conservation in ways that are more likely to result in outcomes that benefit biodiversity while also being just, equitable, inclusive, and respectful of diverse rights holders, knowledge holders, and other actors. We hope that this acrostic will be widely adopted in training to help the next generation of conservation researchers and practitioners keep in mind what it will take to make their contributions effective and salient.
