Thrilled to share our new paper on collective route memories in homing pigeons, in @SciReports!

We found flocks remembered old routes better than pigeons flying alone, likely because different birds remembered different parts of the route!
Im very glad to see our study on Arctic Skuas has just been published - it's all about the global conservation status (with population estimates for all countries) of these iconic seabirds, which we are losing at an alarming rate in the UK. https://t.co/VXrwWoyw4i
Thermal imaging opens multiple windows into wild animal physiology!
Our new systematic review surveys links between body surface temperatures and four key physiological processes to identify approaches likely to push the technique to it's full potential.

Despite threats like bycatch and climate change, understanding the movement of organisms is crucial. A new paper provides insight into how tropical seabirds navigate the vast ocean, highlighting the remarkable adaptability of their homing strategies. https://t.co/5uVbZZodHK
Movement Ecology fails in predicting where and when animals will move in rapidly changing or ‘novel’ environments. We show the exciting opportunities to now transform Movement Ecology from a descriptive into a more predictive science:

Excited to share the first paper from my PhD is out now in Journal of Animal Ecology! We investigate the impacts of winter storminess on auks and show diverging negative impacts of storms among guillemots, puffins, and razorbills!

Results show that adult mass loss increases and chicks per nest decreases with increasing ORDs, but not necessarily in a linear fashion, as assumed by impact assessment methods, highlighting the importance of a mechanistic approach.
