Our new @adriftlab.bsky.social paper is out, lead by @alixdejersey.bsky.social showing the insidious impacts of plastics on seemingly health birds (1/5)

✨NEW PAPER✨ After 3 yrs this method is out!

➡️An index to reduce uncertainty in distinguishing entanglements in fishing-related items between OFG & ALDFG

➡️Vital as different measures are needed to tackle each problem (operational fishing vs. marine debris)

Cool New 🐢 paper: Using three decades of satellite tracking date, Briscoe et al show how loggerheads in the North Pacific have shifted North 🌍🧪🦤 www.frontiersin.org/journals/mar...

This article used data about plastic ingestion in adult shearwaters collected dead in the Azores. It was discovered for the first time that seabirds such as shearwaters 'reset' plastic concentrations.

✨We kick off the year with a newly published paper exploring plastic ingestion in adult shearwaters✨

✳️Our findings reveal that due to feeding their offspring, adults reset their plastic loads

✳️Crucial insights for using seabirds as bioindicators

🔊 Take a look at this review we collaborated on. The study critically examines global long-term #monitoring programs using #bioindicators for #plastic #pollution. While many species might have the potential, only a few programs have been effectively implemented.

Science has shown that #Plastic pollution is driven by plastic production, i.e. supply. Supply-side measures are thus essential to adequately tackle pollution and its effects on human and ecosystem health as well as climate! #PlasticsTreaty #INC5

Good to see clothing included here, an often overlooked source of plastic waste. We have a big programme on that at #Exeter now and the global numbers are shocking. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Relembramos-te que hoje é dia de novo episódio da Série Minuto Azul Escuro, desenvolvida pelo @azoresdeepsea.bsky.social! Vê todos os episódios aqui:

Cory’s shearwater as a key #bioindicator of #plastic #contamination in the North #Atlantic. We studied 1,238 deceased birds over 8 years!
