If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

We're welcoming reseach submissions (any article format) on stable isotope analysis of animals, especially linking present and past environments! @frontiersin.bsky.social @icaz-news.bsky.social @uor-research.bsky.social #archaeology #archaeobirds #zooarchaeology #ecology #stableistopes
