Mass poisoning is decimating African vultures. We quantified cost-effectiveness of GPS-tagged sentinel vultures to mitigate this threat. Few sentinels can save lots of vultures—but fast ground response is key. Super relevant study led by Teja Curk: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

So many years in the making, and finally it's out! Enjoy the second baby of my (now ancient) PhD, a labour of love and... well labour of so many people!

Exciting new research by @crittermapper.bsky.social and researchers from @seabirdecology.bsky.social studies the migratory connectivity and non-breeding distributions of Calonectris shearwaters, and their implications for species differentiation and population structure doi.org/10.1111/ddi....

EDEC SA works for #CaboVerde govern and changed Brava street & port lights from yellow to strong white LED. A few days later >150 Cape Verde, Leach and WF #StormPetrels & Boyd's #shearwaters collisioned and died. Despite #ProjectoVito warned DNA, 3d later lights are on m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Think #stormpetrels just wing it to find a meal? 🍽️ Think again! Finally, our study is out: these tiny #seabirds use ocean dynamics to find #foraging grounds in the #WestMed. And guess what? Well-placed #MPAs help keep their ‘favorite restaurants’ open.🧑‍🍳 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In this commentary in @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social with S. Lambertucci & P. Plaza we expose the huge toll of the current Avian Influenza virus panzootics on biodiversity, ecosystems, and cascading effects on human society via the loss of Ecosystem Services. @imedea.bsky.social #AvianFlu #Panzootics
