Check out our new paper “Night flight facilitates late breeding catch-up in a long-distance migratory seabird”
We found that late laying shearwaters were more likely to fly more at night during migration and stopover less to “catch up” time

My first paper from my PhD is out today on Manx shearwater behaviour and climate
It’s published in the same journal as the first paper from the OG Dr Siddiqi (my grandpa) 🥳
‘Behavioural responses of a trans-hemispheric migrant to climate oscillation’

Applicants should send a CV, with two referees, to [email protected]
What has happened to all the Isle of May guillemots? The first egg was the latest ever but adjusting for that we should still be peak laying now and the cliffs are terrifyingly empty. Even those that have laid don't seem committed and are losing their eggs at an alarming rate.1/2
Several #seabird species, especially common guillemots and #puffins in the SEAPOP-colony Hornøya, are currently affected by an #oilspill. The source of the oil is unknown. Article in Norwegian - pictures speaking for themselves

Silent bird cliffs. Many Norwegian #seabird populations have declined significantly in recent decades. In this
@NINAforskning#scicomm project we have illustrated the dramatic changes. The article is in Norwegian but the photos speak for themselves.

Extremely powerful depictions of decline of #seabirds in Norway through historical and current photos laid side by side by @Signe_Dalsgaard and colleagues.

Really cool paper by @anflack’s group providing strong support for the “exploration-refinement” hypothesis - the idea that learning shapes how individual migration routes develop in long-lived species.
Migrating birds may seem to be following instinct, but also learn and experiment. A study followed 258 white storks and found that young storks tried out alternate migration routes, whereas old storks were faithful to established routes. In PNAS: https://t.co/CTsFSRhcd8
