Out @animalecology.bsky.social today - a paper with David Ewing in which we explore the #HPAI outbreak in the terns. We find bird-to-bird transmission to be the main driver of infection and estimate the probability of mortality to drop from 0.26 to 0.14 from 2022 to 2023: doi.org/10.1111/1365...

📢 New publication led by Hannah Ravenswater

The long-term study of European shags on the Isle of May shows that both current and early-life environmental conditions influence helminth parasite burdens, with adult males and females responding differently to these conditions.

Map and metrics of foraging trips recorded between 2010 and 2021. The map spans the south coast of of South Africa. The maximum range of each foraging trip is represented with a red dot, the colony is shown as a large yellow dot. Map colours have been chosen to highlight the continental shelf (depth < 200 m) and its slope (depth 200−2000 m); isobaths are shown every 200 m from 0 down to −2000 m (not beyond, for clarity).
