Hi there !
I haven't been very active on social media lately. Will try to fix that, starting by moving from X... x.com/CamLebarbenc...
High connectivity between islands generated by non-breeding dispersive behaviours of brown and lesser noddies may be a major driver in the spread of avian influenza virus among tropical islands. Details available in@RSocPublishing. @UMR_PIMIT @UMREntropie
