Should we allow wildlife species to feed on our food discards and landfill food? @ueaceec.bsky.social @ueaenv.bsky.social There are benefits and problems: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Health risk fears for storks in Europe over ‘junk food’ from landfill

Rubbish dumps can expose birds to contaminants, raising questions over whether landfill foraging helps or harms

New paper examining if selection and/or learning drive the use of new anthropogenic resources by a long-lived lived species by @birdsmove.bsky.social team @inescatry.bsky.social @martaacacio.bsky.social #ornithology @ueaceec.bsky.social @ueaenv.bsky.social royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

From inexperience to proficiency: age-related improvements shape the use of novel anthropogenic food subsidies in a long-lived bird

Abstract. Worldwide, humans have altered ecosystems not only by reducing and changing the distribution of resources but also by providing new foraging oppo

Excellent day for a field trip with the @ueaenv.bsky.social and @biouea.bsky.social 1st year students to monitor plants, invertebrates and birds @NWT reserve Sweetbriar Marshes @ueaceec.bsky.social with Will Nash and @pauldolman.bsky.social

MSc student @lilyabbiss.bsky.social @ueaceec.bsky.social surveying vertebrate species at a landfill site in Southern Portugal. The enclosure (Lily's cage :-) ) protects her from random encounters with feral dogs that visit the site.

Rewa MSc student @ueaenv.bsky.social @ueaceec.bsky.social is studying the natural causes of mortality of white storks while at the nests. She deployed camera traps at the nests and will determine which chicks do not make it to fledgling. #Ornithology #birds

Field work has many challenges, here with @anna-thompson.bsky.social we devised a solution for placing camera traps on nests of white storks aiming to determine the drivers of natural mortality of chicks while at the nest. @ueaceec.bsky.social @ueaenv.bsky.social

1/6 In a new preprint we ask a question: Why do males and females so often age and die at different rates? We argue that sex-specific mutation accumulation may be the most parsimonious evolutionary explanation for sex-biased ageing: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...
