Apologies to #BTcon18 and #WSTC4 peeps for my earlier clumsy tweet. Not meant to be a criticism, was trying to point out difference with #BOU18TC. I love and support both events wholeheartedly!
The beautiful, powerful and revealing film by Chris Jordan, ALBATROSS, is now freely available online. Ask to host a screening and spread the word! #PlasticPollution #LessPlastic #seabirds #WSTC4
4/4 #WSTC4 This work was made possible by an awesome team of wardens, fieldworkers and volunteers on @SkokholmIsland & @skomer_island, & funding from @NatResWales @EDGGlos.
Enormous thanks to them!
We hope our work will facilitate future #petrel #census work
#ToolsTech
3/4 #WSTC4 We’ve developed a user-friendly toolkit in R to calculate playback response rates, pop estimates and CIs. We’d welcome input from potential users before going open source... if you’re involved in #playback #census work, we’d love to hear from you! #ToolsTech
2/4 #WSTC4 Soooo many response rate calculation methods! @OlliePadget & I investigated three: All use repeated visits to a colony, to estimate the asymptote in responses. We also added a new one (the green line), we think it’s the best! 😉
1/4 #WSTC4 Census of nocturnal burrow-nesting seabirds like European #StormPetrel depends on call playback. Not all birds respond, so estimating the response rate is crucial for accurate population estimates #TeamStormie #SeabirdsCount #ToolsTech
We said #WSTC4 is full of great #SciComm!
