Today is #WorldOceanDay! For many of us, the ocean is tightly linked with seabirds. Share your stories or pictures of the ocean, or your preferred seabird. #seabirds

We can track emperor penguins’ behavior… in the dark! During winter! When it’s just the males incubating eggs! This new tech gives us a leg up in understanding this iconic species 🌎🧪🦉🦑 Press release here: www.canterbury.ac.nz/news-and-eve...

For decades, researchers have measured #PlasticPollution by counting individual pieces. But those numbers don’t tell the whole story: internal damage caused by plastic (eg. inflammation) is largely invisible

It has been an honour to work with the long-term data set from Kent Isl. After a survival paper (doi:10.1098/rspb.2024.2710), here is a mate-switching paper. Huge thanks to @liamtaylor.bsky.social on this one! A third one is under review. #seabirds #OpenAccess www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"Flying crosswinds slowed them down, but helped facilitate navigation and prey detection through smell.” #seabirds

Out of sight, out of mind... also works for juvenile seabirds, but it shouldn't. #seabirds #ornithology #conservation

Our new research shows that HPAI increased Northern Gannet mortality by a factor of ~6 and ~4 at two of the world’s largest colonies. We predict this impact will take almost two decades to recover from. #biologicalconservation #seabirds #hpai Full paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2026.111887

Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉
