The circular #seabird economy is critical for oceans, islands and people

Good evening #Vancouver

Population genetic diversity, structure and relatedness in the cryptic Pilbara Olive Python. Zoë Hamilton The Biodiversity Conference

🎃 Halloween costumes 👻 to scare scientists!!!

Partnerships between Nyangumarta Warrarn Aboriginal Corporation & DBCA have uncovered diversity of native bees in Walyarta Conservation Park. Sugarbag bee identified as high value to Nyangumarta people. 36 taxa recorded, 9 undescribed. Melaleuca spp. critical host. The Biodiversity Conference 2025.

Dorian Moro & Wiluna Martu Rangers. A site was identified by rangers in healthy spinifex. Ground searches found scats, active burrows & tracks. Remote cameras confirmed tjakurra, the first for Matuwa Kurrawa NP / IPA. Surveys have identified 116 active burrows. Biodiversity Conference 2025.

Great overview of the Yagarrajalajalan Nagula Buru Project which is tagging green sea turtles and dugongs to identify and map how turtles, dugongs and humans all use Yawuru Saltwater Country (around Broome in Western Australia). www.yagarrajalajalan-nagula-buru.org TheBiodiversity Conference 2025

In spring, over a billion Bogong moths travel from all over SE Australia to a place they have never been before, Alpine caves, to spend the summer in aestivation. In Autumn the same individual returns to its breeding ground & dies. How do they do it? Prof Eric Warrant. The Biodiversity Conference.

Have you ever wondered about the disparities in #seabirds species at conferences? Are we talking about all the species? Wonder no more. We (@thelabandfield.bsky.social @seabirdsentinel.bsky.social @ingridpollet.bsky.social) have the answer! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Good evening from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 🍁

Good news everybody! The Independent Planning Commission just REFUSED the bid to restart Redbank Power Station, noting unacceptable negative impacts on native flora and fauna. Common Sense prevails! www.ipcn.nsw.gov.au/cases/restar...

Good morning!

Good morning from #BritishColumbia if you zoom in you can see the dorsal of a bull transient killer whale

Good evening from Hartley Bay #BritishColumbia

Good morning!

Estuary goodness on the #britishcolumbia central coast

Steller sea lions in the beautiful Pacific Northwest #britishcolumbia #Canada

In Singleton to address the NSW Independent Planning Commission regarding a proposal to clear half a million hectares of woodlands in Western NSW, intended as biomass feedstock for Redbank Power Station. In my professional opinion this will push embattled outback flora and fauna closer to extinction

New paper led by PhD student Ben Viola. We used shipboard data to better understand how snow petrels associate with their marine habitat! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Talk about a long-term study! The dataset for our fresh-off-the-press survival paper on Leach's storm-petrel was started before most of the authors were even born! #seabirds #itsnevertoolatetostartalongtermstudy doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Little Corellas against flag flying. #AusBirds #Cockatoos

Pretty good day at sea in Bass Strait with some nice #seabirds and a few Antarctic Minke #Whales among other cetaceans. 🐋 🐦

Crocs are in! #SuperSeabirdSunday #seabirds #albatross #MidwayAtoll

All the way across the sky!

Our new paper (early view out now!) details an unexpected triangular pattern of migration for Crested Auklets. 95% of our tagged birds spent time in the Chukchi Sea and Sea of Okhotsk before returning to their nesting site. Is it time to re-write the distribution maps? 🧪🐧🦑 doi.org/10.1093/orni...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Scripps Research Institute have developed a groundbreaking UNIVERSAL coronavirus vaccine that triggers STONG immune responses AND shows promise in neutralizing MULTIPLE coronaviruses, including those responsible for causing COVID-19, MERS, AND even the “common cold.” 🧪🧵⬇️

An obligate nocturnal foraging seabird: the Swallow-tailed Gull. Happy to have been part of Sebastian Cruz’s research on this topic: www.marineornithology.org/article?rn=1... #seabirds #gulls #Galapagos 🇪🇨

Wilson's storm petrels, feeding in shallow waters (on amphipods, I think). Watch closely to see some fully submerging. This is the second time I've seen them diving. At Melchior Islands. #seabirds

Join us in solidarity—fly your American flag upside down, the traditional signal of distress and extreme emergency.

Ok #superseabirdsunday, I'll play! Here are some northern #fulmars doing what they do best at the flow edge of Admiralty Inlet in #Nunavut #Arctic #Canada

Are you looking out for a #PhD on #seabirds? *New* competition-funded project to understand and share biologging data to reduce consenting risk from offshore wind farms. Exciting collaboration with @olliepadget.bsky.social and @naturalengland.bsky.social (1/3)

I usually reserve this account for my personal views; but today I want to represent my position as President of @asn-amnat.bsky.social to post a message that will shortly go out to the membership of the American Society of Naturalists from the ASN Executive Council

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ordered to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant,” “L.G.B.T.” or “pregnant people.”

Cape Barren Geese seem pretty smart…

Really important read about the extinction of experience among ecologists - and the barriers to doing fieldwork - both in teaching & research. @kevinjgaston.bsky.social Likely to hinder our efforts to address the biodiversity crisis doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... 🌏🧪

In 2016 when I started working intensively on orange-bellied parrots there were only 3 females & 14 males left in the wild - today there’s many more. Makes me so happy seeing their busy little flocks these days 🤩🦜🪶🧪

A day late to #throwbackThursday so enjoy a little end of the week cuteness from this incredibly cuddly Helena gum moth, Austrocaligula helena. #wildAus #TeamMoth 🌏 Photo taken on Wandergarup, Bibbulmun Noongar Country

Yet another proof that @elsevierconnect.bsky.social has given up on the quality of all forms of editorial work. There's obviously no copy editing anymore. So, what are we really paying for with subscription-/open access fees??

Last night I watched Australian Flatback Turtles nesting under a full moon in the Pilbara. What a great experience! #WildOz #SeaTurtles

A very young Bridled Tern chick. It’s a wonder how seabirds manage in the extreme heat of the islands off the Pilbara #WildOz #Australia #Seabirds
