Our new @BiodiversaPlus project @SPEAR_biodiv launched last week. It will identify gaps in the land & marine protected area networks for conservation & assess resilience under different future scenarios. @bksandercock @DPavonJordan https://t.co/x5Q6HX0ozc
Rest your mind for a few minutes and watch these water birds making use of artificial islands developed by @DPavonJordan and colleagues in Czechia. https://t.co/ezaIL6kvSb
New paper out! 🚨Long‐term increase in female body condition – and its effect on reproduction in two European red‐listed species, Common Pochard Aythya ferina and Tufted Duck Aythya fuligula https://t.co/HF5H16Lf79
@NINAnature#waterbirds#wetlands#ducks#Aythya
A new paper by @DPavonJordan looking at the use of non-English scientific references in biodiversity assessments. NINA reports are mostly written in Norwegian but have English abstracts and titles to make them more widely accessible.
🚨🚨🚨 Last week to apply to join us here at @NINAnature and conduct your PhD studies in a joint project with the Univeristy of Amsterdam on mapping migratory routes using meteorological radars to inform wind energy production development.

Are you a fan of (funky) fish? Looking for a #PhDposition? @NINAnature are advertising a 4 yr position on functional habitats in hydropower reservoirs. (Only caveat is you may have to work with me & I know nothing about fish; I know funky though!) https://t.co/bz3Nvv7Qgl pls rt
Looking for a PhD candidate to work with us on “mapping migratory flyways using radar technology” within the project “Visualizing avian migration across Norway supporting sustainable coastal and offshore wind energy development”.Great colleagues await

Migratory waterbirds provide us with many vital services:
✅pest control
✅food
✅economic benefits to local communities
The UN waterbird meeting #AEWAMOP8 promotes the sustainable use of birds and their habitats for securing these #ecosystem services.

A message for ecology and conservation science too:
"Our central message is that data quality matters more than data quantity, and that compensating the former with the latter is a mathematically provable losing proposition." @RSPBScience@UCLCBER ⬇️✔️
