New paper available on the winter migratory patterns of Red-legged kittiwakes! Distributional fidelity, isotopic niche, and the impact of seasonal ice cover...@RachaelOrben @abfleishman https://t.co/ODd6d1pCn4 #seabirds

And we are honored to help contribute to the great work surrounding this amazing population of auklets! #Farallones50 #RhinosReturn https://t.co/hI0OvPzZFm https://t.co/Y4dHfqS6V8

We highlight QFASA as a tractable method for monitoring fisheries exploitation in albatross in our new @FrontMarineSci manuscript

Interesting new paper looking at how albatross find squid in the deep ocean - check out the images captured by the birds themselves! #seabirds #squid https://t.co/TTs9Ef4NA1

[ShAPE Lab @ShafferAvian]

New #OA paper in @MEPS_IR about the foraging ecology of rhinoceros auklets in the @GFNMS! Adults alter strategy based on interannual variability. @PointBlueConSci #seabirds #foraging https://t.co/QBi0b72sTh

[ShAPE Lab @ShafferAvian]

Congratulations to Olivia Townsend for winning honorable mention in the Best MS Poster category at #PSG2018! Two years in a row for the lab! From Forster's terns to red-tailed tropicbirds, we like #seabird research

[ShAPE Lab @ShafferAvian]

New paper examining the egg turning behavior of Forster's terns in the San Francisco Bay! Featuring 3-D printed eggs, tech, and #hatchability to spare. https://t.co/OlMp4e4BU4

[ShAPE Lab @ShafferAvian]

Another newly-available prepress abstract in @MEPS_IR about our research with rhinoceros auklets in the Farallones! Chick-brooding adults use different areas of the shelf break system depending on local oceanography https://t.co/QBi0b72sTh

Hg from the deep sea brought to surface feeding piscivorous seabirds by their myctophid prey during diel vertical migration @abfleishman @RachaelOrben @ShafferAvian #AMSS2018

Abram Fleishman of @sjsu presents his work on mercury in #seabirds related to #beringsea wintering areas. #AMSS2018

[Adrian(a) @gall_adri]

Adding oceanographic relationships to the conversation about mercury exposure in red-legged kittiwakes @abfleishman #AMSS2018

[ShAPE Lab @ShafferAvian]

Prepress abstract now available on the winter ecology of red-legged kittiwakes! Distributional fidelity? What about isotopic niche? How impacted are they by seasonal ice cover? Coming soon @RachaelOrben @abfleishman https://t.co/dUZs517kO3

Foraging Behavior and Energetics of Albatrosses in Contrasting Breeding Environments: Michelle Antolos, Scott A. Shaffer, Henri Weimerskirch, Yann Tremblay, Daniel P. Costa https://t.co/I4dc00l1oS

[ShAPE Lab @ShafferAvian]

Recent paper in @FrontMarineSci examining foraging and energetic differences between ecologically-similar albatross across ocean basins. Laysan, black-footed, and yellow-nosed, oh my! https://t.co/HrpPbBeZOR

Paper on western gull habitat use is out! …https://t.co/cRPFUA9gOL…
Do you think any of our birds caught a @SFGiants game at ATT Park?

[Ruedi Nager @RuediNager]

Lovely study on differences in foraging behavior and habitat use between #gulls populations, with implications for differences in breeding success #seabirds #ornithology https://t.co/mrcfp6qvKv

[ShAPE Lab @ShafferAvian]

New #OA paper on differences in foraging site selection (land vs. sea) between two colonies of Western gulls in central CA. Implications for breeding success! #seabirds #laridsrule #movementecology https://t.co/VfqPuKb9d8

Have you ever seen the thought process of a great white #shark before they attack? Watch the full sequence 240 feet deep. @WHOI @REMUSAUV

Friday Snack time after an afternoon of extracting oceanographic data #gradschool is flying by!
