Interested in a MSc/PhD studying the world's most beautiful gull?

Come work with conservation partners @ParksCanada @ECCCSciTech @lavoie_raphael & MC Roy at the gorgeous Mingan Archipelago to discover why kittiwakes have declined in Gulf of St Lawrence.

Attention! New graduate position available in my lab as a #NewPI @McMasterU to start Sept. 2023 and examine #PFAAs in the terrestrial food web of European starlings in collaboration with Shane de Solla @ECCCSciTech!

[Alyssa Eby @EbyAlyssa]

@JennaSchlener Wow that’s gorgeous!

[Dr. Emily S Choy @Emily_S_Choy]

Amazing opportunity to conduct High #Arctic research on snow bunting ecophysiology as part of the @ArcticScope project with the @VezinaLab @UQAR!

Arctic fox dens are prominent features on the tundra but what effect do they have on other wildlife?
In our new paper in Global Ecology & Conserv, we show that fox-engineered dens attract a wide array of animals & function as hotspots of wildlife activity!

@C_Madliger @AlgomaU Congrats Christine!! 🎉☺️

[Shannon Whelan @killerwhelan]

A PhD chapter came out while I was in the field!

Kittiwakes bred earlier (and better) under colder climate--not a great fit for the future

Murres bred earlier as the Arctic warmed up--but only by ~1 wk, while sea-ice out dates are ~1 mo earlier

Writing a PhD thesis over the last four years has often felt meaningless and hollow in this troubled world. I often think back to my friend @srharacha's thesis dedication🌥️@AcademicChatter

Turns out diving in polar waters ain't cheap when you're one of the smallest seabirds... 🥶

Welcome to the last session of #WSTC8 – Behaviour 2! We have 5 presenters lined up for you - @LegardMatthew @jenny_howard9 @DylanTitmuss @cecil_sol & @NuriaSalmern1.
Please remember to use #WSTC8 #BehaSesh2 for questions/comments at the end of each presentation. 🙏

[Alyssa Eby @EbyAlyssa]

@C_Petalas Beautiful presentation Christina and amazing work!! Any thoughts on whether climate change may affect these species differently based on the multidimensional niche separation you've seen? #ForSesh3 #WSTC8

[Alyssa Eby @EbyAlyssa]

@E_Runnells @C_Petalas Don't worry I just casually mixed up a bunch of mine in the excitement of things😅#WSTC8

[Alyssa Eby @EbyAlyssa]

@TashaGownaris Would be great to get some GPS on BLGUs to test this out!

[Alyssa Eby @EbyAlyssa]

That ends the foraging ecology sessions! A huge thanks to our last round of speakers for four incredible presentations by @TashaGownaris @C_Petalas @gibson90r #ForSesh3 🥰

#WSTC8 isn’t quite over though we still have one last behaviour session #BehavSesh2 at 18:00 UTC!!

[Alyssa Eby @EbyAlyssa]

@gibson90r @DavorenLab Amazing presentation Gibson! So cool to see gull kleptoparasitism and predation on puffins quantified. Was there been any sightings of gull predation on fledging puffin chicks? #WSTC8 #ForSesh3

[Alyssa Eby @EbyAlyssa]

*** #WSTC8 😅

[Alyssa Eby @EbyAlyssa]

Ending #ForSesh3 we have Gibson @gibson90r a BSc student from @UManitoba (who recently defended their Honours thesis 🎉) presenting on

“Gull predation and kleptoparasitism on breeding Atlantic puffins in coastal Newfoundland under varying forage fish availability”

#WTSC8

[Alyssa Eby @EbyAlyssa]

@TashaGownaris @ArcticEcology Another awesome presentation Natasha! Do you think personality might correspond to specific prey types, which could also be why results don't match OFT predictions? e.g. benthic foraging vs. pelagic foraging #ForSesh3 #WTSC8
