🐧 Penguins! 🦐 Krill foraging! 🎧 Acoustic data! 🤿 Diving bouts! Our August #ASABEditorsChoice for the #AnimalBehaviourJournal: “Bout time for krill: contrasting Adélie penguin foraging behaviour during years of high and low krill availability” Read here: doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2025.123260

📣Announcing the launch of SealMAP: Seal Mapping & Analysis Platform. This SMRU app allows you to explore & download the latest grey & harbour seal distribution maps for Scotland. You can also get estimates of density for your area of interest. Happy mapping! arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/shiny/smru/s... 🦭🗺️

🚨 New Paper Alert 🚨 We put decades of effort in collecting this massive dataset on movement and diving behaviour of northern elephant seals and now we make it available! 🦭🦑🌎 Check it out here 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1️⃣ A new multi-disciplinary study identifies eight potentially cascading ‘tipping points’ that span physical, biological, chemical, and governance systems and highlight #Antarctica’s critical role in global #climate stability.

South American fur #seals tagged in the Falkland Islands 🦭 Females, males and pups showing extensive use of the Patagonian Shelf and providing valuable insights into their movements throughout the year 📊 🧪 🌎 #MovementEcology #SAERI

Our new paper outlines methods to ID albatross and petrel species using DNA from feathers. This provides tools to determine which #seabirds species are threatened by fisheries bycatch #ConservationGenetics 🧬🧪🌏🦑 Here's a news story on our research: www.antarctica.gov.au/news/2024/us...

hey everyone! i made a list of some useful starter packs (primarily biology/earth sciences with a few bonus things thrown in) to share with friends who have joined bsky in the last week and thought it may be useful for some people here too! 🌍🧪 #SciSky #BioSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...

And they’re off! Marine predator chaos over the Patagonian Shelf...and some fur seal pups going rogue and doing their own thing - venturing out towards South Georgia 🦭🐧 Such an amazing dataset to be working with! 📊👏 #FalklandIslands #animalmovement #penguin #seal #seabird

Hi folks! 👋 I’m Javed Riaz, a marine ecologist at the South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute. My research focuses on using different kinds of animal tracking data to learn more about foraging behaviours, habitat use, and how wild populations interact with their environment 🐧
