Academic publishing is in deep trouble.

We all know it: paper mills, thousands of Special Issues, retractions, skyrocketing APCs...

What is going on?

@danbrockington , @HansonM90 , @pagomba & me we have a preprint just out, with tons of data.

@ozguryunuslar Merhaba bu konuda bir Google Akademik aramasi yapmanizi tavsiye ederim. Avrupa'da cok benzer habitat ve turlerin yasadigi yerlerde yapilan ve akran degerlendirmeli deergilerde yayinlanmis deneysel calismalar var, calisma sonuclarini yorumlama kismini size birakiyorum.

The big day is just one week away! 📅 Tomorrow week our LIFE PanPuffinus! project will be officially launched in Malta. The event will be open only by invitation. However, we'll be streaming it live on Facebook for all those who would like to tune in: https://t.co/cDDZbjEEWa.

@MarieClaireGatt @Maria_Alho @SeabirdStudent @JoanaCMRomero @AntonioVulcano7 Sounds like a great event!

[Andrew MacDonald 🌈 @polesasunder]

so much pain and struggle is hidden from public view these days. Our work environments often encourage this, but of course now it's far worse.

Let's be kind. Let's practice compassion.

What to do when #endemic #endangered species predate on eggs and chicks of protected #seabirds? Check how this Canarian shrew from #MontañaClara #CanaryIslands is predating on a hatching chick of Cory's #shearwater #Calonectris #Crocidura @IRBioUB 📸 @FmedranoM & @SarahSaldanha1

There are tens of thousands of manx shearwaters on Skokholm, they travel 6,000 miles over ocean to be there 🌊

Did North America really lose 3 billion birds? What does it mean? https://t.co/tEsg38fKU7

Nice comparison for Maltese and Croatian seabird Islands by Martin #seabirdersaturday reading

[LIFE PanPuffinus! @MaltaSeabirds]

Martin Austad, from our project, recently made a fieldwork visit to #LIFEArtina project in Croatia, in which @BirdLife_Malta is a partner. Read about his experience & observations on Croatian islands and seabirds in this blog he penned for @BiomHr: https://t.co/seh7F39SFq.

[LIFE PanPuffinus! @MaltaSeabirds]

In the past weeks exciting research on Malta’s breeding seabirds by two successive @BirdLife_Malta projects was published in international journals. Head to our latest blog to learn more about the findings: https://t.co/Vt0FXoIh9i.

22:13 4/21 This is interesting. A small bird (perhaps a Storm-petrel) has entered the Cahow burrow. It may be looking for a place to nest and it did not harm the chick.

@miguelmcminn @crymble47 @HannahRGeegee @MaltaSeabirds @tash_gillies @OlliePadget We should have an exchange program for the Puffinus people in the Mediterranean :)

4 #WSTC5 Stranding hotspot ID allows for targeted #conservation efforts and #LightPollution mitigation - ecologically responsible lighting: CCT <3000K, full cut-off, downward facing lights, lighting schedules, inform policy and raise awareness among stakeholders. #ConsSesh1

[LIFE PanPuffinus! @MaltaSeabirds]

3 #WSTC5 Stranded bird database 1978-2018. 269 cases recorded, c.72% in just 10 locations = Hotspots. Number of strandings increasing at near exponential rate. 96% cases involve fledglings. Hotspots mostly coastal, developed and close to colonies. #ConsSesh1 #citizenscience

[LIFE PanPuffinus! @MaltaSeabirds]

2 #WSTC5 #Malta is world’s 17th most light polluted country by pop. size. High levels of #LightPollution due to use of white #LEDs, over-development, weak enforcement and low awareness. Effects of #LightPollution for Maltese petrels = colony abandonment and strandings #ConsSesh1
