Very happy to share that our paper presenting a framework for optimal movement decisions in complex landscapes has just been published in TREE @stephharris.bsky.social @jacobnabe.bsky.social tinyurl.com/d45s36y5

Our Senior Researcher Fredrik Christiansen recently completed the third photogrammetry field season on bowhead whales in Disko Bay, Greenland. See Thread. 🌐🌏🐋🧪 @FChristiansen.bsky.social #marinemammology #ecology #cetaceanresearch #Arctic #MarineEcology #Research #Science

🔊 Breaking news on foraging plasticity: Bryde's whales can decide to interrupt ongoing feeding for different reasons🐋🐟👀... Find out more on one of my PhD chapters we just published on Ethology Ecology & Evolution. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… @marinemammalsau.bsky.social 🧪

Where should we build offshore wind farms for minimimal impacts on marine species? Discussed by Jacob Nabe-Nielsen from @au.dk on #Naturmødet in Hirtshals. He presented results from the Screening project that will facilitate a sustainable green transition in Denmark #dkgreen #Marineecology 🧪 🌐 🐋

Developing and testing the models demands a wealth of diverse data and a very dedicated team! From tagging projects to stranding records, we gather critical information on animal movement, energetics, and population structure to inform and refine these models 🐬 #marinemammalresearch @au.dk

Our researchers use a variety of models, including DEPONS (depons.eu), which simulates the effects of noise disturbance on harbor porpoises. By simulating how noise impacts their movement and foraging success, DEPONS can assess the impacts of offshore wind farm construction and ship traffic. 🛥️🐬

New paper: The composition of Arctic plant communities appears to be more related to fine-scale environmental variation than to large-scale variation in summer temperatures, and microhabitat buffering may thus delay the effects of #ClimateChange at least in W Greenland doi.org/10.1002/ecog... 🌱🧪🌐

My first fieldwork activity in my new position at AU’s marine mammal research section! 🐻‍❄️🐬🦭@marinemammalsau.bsky.social

In our new paper in @science.org, we show that tropical forests are changing over time, but too slowly to track climate change. Our article, led by @jeaggu.bsky.social just out: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @oxfordgeography.bsky.social @naturerecovery.bsky.social @forestplots.bsky.social

New paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social on seabird wind use and foraging decisions! doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... We estimated wind selectivity in Manx shearwaters and explored how birds handle the trade-off between being wind efficient and targeting known foraging areas @sosbangor.bsky.social

Do you work with individual-based models of birth, death and movement? We have a review paper for you, part of a special collection for the journal Interface’s 20th birthday! doi.org/10.1098/rsif...

Exciting news! Our reports on the impact of offshore wind farms on wildlife in Denmark, including marine mammals, are now available: dce.au.dk/fileadmin/dc.... Great initiative by the Danish Energy Agency commissioning this important work 🧪🦭🐋 #dkgreen #AarhusUni

New paper out – will hopefully benefit #conservation of harbour porpoises in Denmark – and demonstrates how we can get reliable distribution maps from other parts of the world 🌐🧪

Exciting study - will help us getting a more holistic understanding of the impacts of offshore wind.

Very excited this paper is now out in Ecology Letters onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... #causalsky

Fantastic listening to Xiuqing Hao when she presented four years of research on effects of small boars on har our porpoises during her PhD defence today at Dept. Of Ecoscience @aarhusuni.bsky.social 😊 🧪

Excellent new review from @weatherwest.bsky.social @climate-guy.bsky.social @manuelaibrunner.bsky.social @climatechirper.bsky.social on one of the most useful organizing concepts I've run across for understanding climate impacts on extreme events - the "expanding atmospheric sponge" 1/🧵

The decreasing speed of the green transition is truly worrying. Governments must stop subsidising oil and gas and instead help speeding up the #greentransition to slow down #climatechange

Now THIS is quite concerning, to say the least. #environment 40 per cent of the world's soil is already degraded, but the problem could get much worse. Soil degradation threatens food supply and scientists are calling for action

Exciting that high-resolution movement datasets start becoming available for marine mammals.

Musk endorsed Germany's far-right AfD party. Not only are they anti-immigrant, but they're also against policies that are good for electric vehicle makers and buyers. Tesla IR and Musk did not respond to a request for comment... www.cnbc.com/2024/12/20/e...

Fun fact - File under no free lunch - #Tiktok annual carbon footprint is estimated to be about 50 million metric tons of CO2, which is more than Greece emits in a year. Average user is equal to driving an extra 123 miles a year www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Fantastic getting the opportunity to present my research at the British Ecological Society conference #BES2024 😊

Great start to #BES2024 with a plenary on nature-based solutions!

Interested in how marine populations respond to different stressors, and how this can be modelled under novel environmental conditions? That's the topic of my presentation tomorrow at the BES conference in Liverpool #BES2024 🧪

A brainwave experiment has revealed that wild baleen whales can hear much higher frequency sounds than expected. This provides clues as to how the whales may evade predators such as killer whales - and could indicate broader sensitivity to human noises. 🧪 www.newscientist.com/article/2457...
