🆕 #seabirds paper led by Alyssa Piauwasdy Leg-mounted GLS had no detectable effect on chick growth, fledging, or adult return rates in Wedge-tailed Shearwaters on Oʻahu. Year did. Chicks grew slower in El Niño — tagged or not. 🔗 doi.org/10.5751/JFO-... #geolocators #biologging #Hawaii

Journal of Field Ornithology: Geolocator devices did not affect chick growth or adult return rates in Wedge-tailed Shearwaters (<em>Ardenna pacifica</em>) despite interannual variation in chick develo...

Although biologging has transformed seabird ecology, bird-borne devices could alter the behaviors being studied, including parental care. We tested for effects of leg-mounted light-level geolocators (...

If you are #publishing in #science please make sure you review at least twice as many papers as you publish. If you are an editor please broaden your reach to other scientists and don’t contact the same reviewers too often. #peerreview #academia

Completely agree, the misinformation being thrown around! The media outlets, including the ABC, are at fault too for not vetting their experts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It would be nice if the Australian media would source information about avian influenza from avian veterinarians and disease ecologists rather than just birders and ecologists with wild untested hypotheses. #H5N1 #birdflu #avianinfluenza

Not a first for Phillip Island on the ground. I have several observations from Phillip Island in January 2020 including this one observed January 12, 2020.

The circular #seabird economy is critical for oceans, islands and people

Nature Portfolio@natureportfolio.nature.com · 9mo ago

A Review in Nature Reviews Biodiversity explores the circular seabird economy around islands and discusses how healthy seabird populations can support more resilient island ecosystems. go.nature.com/4nn0bTD 🔒

🎃 Halloween costumes 👻 to scare scientists!!!

Partnerships between Nyangumarta Warrarn Aboriginal Corporation & DBCA have uncovered diversity of native bees in Walyarta Conservation Park. Sugarbag bee identified as high value to Nyangumarta people. 36 taxa recorded, 9 undescribed. Melaleuca spp. critical host. The Biodiversity Conference 2025.

Dorian Moro & Wiluna Martu Rangers. A site was identified by rangers in healthy spinifex. Ground searches found scats, active burrows & tracks. Remote cameras confirmed tjakurra, the first for Matuwa Kurrawa NP / IPA. Surveys have identified 116 active burrows. Biodiversity Conference 2025.

Great overview of the Yagarrajalajalan Nagula Buru Project which is tagging green sea turtles and dugongs to identify and map how turtles, dugongs and humans all use Yawuru Saltwater Country (around Broome in Western Australia). www.yagarrajalajalan-nagula-buru.org TheBiodiversity Conference 2025

In spring, over a billion Bogong moths travel from all over SE Australia to a place they have never been before, Alpine caves, to spend the summer in aestivation. In Autumn the same individual returns to its breeding ground & dies. How do they do it? Prof Eric Warrant. The Biodiversity Conference.

Good evening from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 🍁

Good news everybody! The Independent Planning Commission just REFUSED the bid to restart Redbank Power Station, noting unacceptable negative impacts on native flora and fauna. Common Sense prevails! www.ipcn.nsw.gov.au/cases/restar...

In Singleton to address the NSW Independent Planning Commission regarding a proposal to clear half a million hectares of woodlands in Western NSW, intended as biomass feedstock for Redbank Power Station. In my professional opinion this will push embattled outback flora and fauna closer to extinction

Good morning!
