Excited to share my 1st PhD paper!

We show that targeted supplementary feeding positively impacted the demography & growth of a threatened population, but not how we expected!

[Seabird Surveys @JNCC_UKseabirds]

It is FINALLY here!
#SeabirdsCount results are out, and the book is available to buy.
It is the most comprehensive survey of Britain & Ireland’s breeding seabirds in 20 years.
Led by JNCC & partner organisations, it provides estimates of 25 of our regularly breeding seabirds.

[Seabird Surveys @JNCC_UKseabirds]

Coming soon - #SeabirdsCount, 4th census of Britain & Ireland’s internationally important breeding seabirds populations, with over 10,000 sites & 25 species surveyed between 2015-2021. Sign up for pre-publication offer until 10 November https://t.co/SqZy0iSvNa

📢 Anthropogenic food subsidies 🍔 modulate interspecific synchrony of egg volume 🥚 in marine top predators https://t.co/cfeRw3mAcw a collaboration with @GEDA_IMEDEA @IMEDEA_UIB_CSIC @ceabcsic @UIBuniversitat @escateret @igualjm & @UoABioSci. @Seabirders @PLOSONE

[Francis Daunt @FrancisDaunt]

With increasing reports of dead and sick guillemots and shoreline foraging, could people tag their reports with #AukWreck2

Hope this isn’t tempting fate but useful to establish this now to help monitor progress. A “wreck” is a large mortality of #seabirds.

Incredibly happy to say that I passed my PhD viva with minor corrections! A huge thank you to my examiners, Dr. @anapayopayo and Prof. Brian Polagye, and to all of my supervisors for all the support over the years! @UoABioSci @mastscot @EMEC_Ltd

[Francis Daunt @FrancisDaunt]

IMPORTANT REPORT: #StateOfTheWorldsBirds highlights widespread declines and offers potential solutions to this crisis

57% of #seabirds species are declining. The report covers bycatch, invasive mammalian predators and the new NACES #MPA

Thrilled to have passed my PhD viva after a truly enjoyable 4yrs studying 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿#chough conservation!

Huge thanks to my wonderful supervisors @janemreid1 @DavyMcCracken Eric Bignal &Pat Monaghan for their support,& @RobThomas14 @pt98765 for an interesting & encouraging viva! #PhDone

[Jane Reid @janemreid1]

Many congrats to Dr @SarahFenn11 for a fantastic thesis and well deserved viva success!
Valued support from @NERCscience @nature_scot @UoABioSci @CBD_NTNU and, critically, Scottish Chough Study Group. And @katieaugust15 & co for the amazing cake!

NEW PAPER: Demographic variation in space and time: implications for conservation targeting. #CitizenScience #ornithology.

[Vulture Conservation Foundation @4Vultures]

😔We are devastated. Yesterday, the first wild-hatched #CinereousVulture in #Bulgaria and three reintroduced Cinereous Vultures fell victim to illegal animal poisoning: https://t.co/fSzhKhJu4L

🚨New Paper! Effects of non-random juvenile mortality on small, inbred populations.

We discovered orange-bellied #parrot siblings have non-random mortality of brood mates!

What does this mean for siblings and small populations generally?

[Sarah Fenn @SarahFenn11]

@ProffField @janemreid1 Thanks! I suspect there wouldn't be enough data, and that the history of the Cornish population (i.e. recent establishment and expansion) might make the patterns a bit tricker to clearly pick out for this population, but it would certainly be interesting to know!

[Sarah Fenn @SarahFenn11]

#Ecology twitter–I’m looking for paper suggestions!
We see an interesting sex by #population size interaction in natal dispersal distances in Scottish chough (see fig).
Can anyone recommend other studies that explicitly tested for sex by density effects on #dispersal distances?

[Sarah Fenn @SarahFenn11]

@arpatoz @chloe_nater @janemreid1 @UoABioSci @CBD_NTNU @dobehr These look really interesting, thanks for sharing!

[Alexandra Jebb de Calais @alexandra_jebb]

A week on & I'm just about ready to process that I'm #PhDone 😁.

Thanks to @JGAMartin & @bize_pierre for a wonderful & supportive supervision & to @englishse & @anapayopayo for a kind and encouraging viva!

Special mention to @SarahFenn11 for the new wall art!

[Sarah Fenn @SarahFenn11]

@atle_my @janemreid1 Brilliant, thank you!
