Very happy to see this one published ! I had lots of fun participating to the adventure with an amazing group of scientists and friends.

A black-legged kittiwake soars over the blue waters of an Arctic fjord.

This was a massive international effort! Huge thanks to each and every one of my 30 co-authors from @seatrackscience.bsky.social al, and special thanks to my Arctic dream team @samanthacpatrick.bsky.social and @freddiemckendrick.bsky.social - Svalbard was the original inspo for this project! ❄️ 🧵4/4

Three kittiwake chicks sat on a nest at the abandoned mining town of Pyramiden in svalbard.

... Huge thank you goes to Sasha Kitaysky, Alexis Will and Sebastien Descamps for all the work they have done to maintain this dataset and also to @samanthacpatrick.bsky.social for all the fun during the PhD. Paper is available to read freely here: doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Are people who are going to @isbe2026.bsky.social staying by the venue or in town?

Newly expanded version of my guide to scientific writing -- known as the “15 steps” -- published in PLOS Computational Biology. Special thanks to Éric Marty for creating a fantastic visualization.

Having spent 6 years writing a paper and 6 days searching for a missing subscript, this comment from a coauthor has made my week:

"These types of sentences sound like we have founded a sect!"

I feel like I probably could have done that quicker than finish this paper!

The garden owls were calling all night and this morning they are snuggled in the box! Hoping this means they might breed this year

We’re looking for an enthusiastic #PhD candidate to explore the resilience of sea turtle populations in a changing climate, supervised by Leo Clarke and myself. Interested in sea #turtles, #marine #biology, #conservation & #fieldwork in Cape Verde. Funded by ACCE+ NERC DLA tinyurl.com/dm573yrm

I am looking for a short video of multi (two or more) species of seabirds in a foraging interaction. The footage must be taken from above, ideally from a drone. The footage is for developing statistical techniques and would not be published. Can anyone help?

Looking for #PhD in behavioural and applied ecology? Our project will determine the importance individual level variation in #seabird #foraging for assessing the impact of wind farms @jon-seabirds.bsky.social @jaycee161.bsky.social @liverpooluni.bsky.social
