Do you still include a cover letter when submitting a manuscript, even if it's optional? Comment with yes/no, which field(s) you're in, and roughly what career stage you're at. I want to see something 😋

Hi all - sorry I've been absent from this platform as of late! Everything seems to be busy - even my hobbies are stressing me out 🤣 What's new and exciting in the bird and wider biological world? Tell me all the most fascinating recent findings! 🤩 I'm behind on the literature. #Science #birds

Paper no. 9 by Jiaqing Cai et al. investigates the impacts of ALAN on earthworm behaviour. This work shows how ALAN decreases surface activity of earthworms, and leads to a marked shift in litter accumulation zones in the soil under ALAN, compared to unlit soils www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Brightened nights, altered earth: Artificial light reshapes activity rhythms in an earthworm and soil processes

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a global environmental disruptor, impacting natural dark-light cycles, with effects reported on the activity rhyth…

Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

From NYT article about the increasing use of AI in the classroom: “Writing is one of the most challenging tasks for students, which is why it is so tempting for some to ask A.I. to do it for them. In turn, A.I. can be useful for teachers who would like to assign more writing, but are limited in their time to grade it.”

Thanks @airamrodriguez.bsky.social for featuring our study on ecolightsforseabirds.weebly.com/news/new-pub...! Storm-petrels avoid light after stranding - and we can develop post-stranding mortality mitigation strategies that take advantage of this. Ta-da... Hide boxes! @garyburness.bsky.social

New publication: Safe haven-type shelters mitigate light-induced mortality

Strandings of procellariiform (tube-nosed) seabirds can be greatly reduced by decreasing emissions of artificial light at night, but in many affected locations (e.g., cities, industrial sites) it is.....

New post at ecolightsforseabirds website! Pufflings navigating the lit night About a recent study by @tbrownbirds.bsky.social on the Atlantic Puffin ecolightsforseabirds.weebly.com/news/pufflin... #ornithology #seabirds

Pufflings navigating the lit night

Each year in Newfoundland, Canada, fledgling Atlantic Puffins (“pufflings”; Fratercula arctica ) become stranded in coastal towns during their nocturnal first flights from breeding colonies on...
