A new VKM report with a risk assessment of import of Turkestan cockroaches as a living food source for pet invertebrates and reptiles. Likely a low risk of establishment in a cold Nordic climate. In english (med et sammendrag på norsk).

Den fremmede Turkestan-kakerlakk brukes som levende fôr til hobbydyr. Men kan den overleve i norsk natur? 🤔
VKM har vurdert risikoen og konkludert med at det er lav risiko for at arten vil etablere seg her. Norsk klima er for vått og kaldt, selv for en hardfør kakerlakk. 🌧️❄️

Good start to the International Wader Study Group Conference 2025 in Groningen (Netherlands) #IWSG2025. Interesting workshops on the using drones for breeding wader research and about knowledge gaps and policy strategies for conservation of Nordic waders.

NINA har ledet et samarbeidsprosjekt som har vurdert miljøeffektene av fornybar energi. Nå har vi publisert en nettside med interaktive kart som sammenligner vannkraft, vindkraft på land og solenergi. Bransjeprognoser med mer energiutbygging vil kreve miljømessige avveininger. tinyurl.com/4wabb9hd

Audubon Alaska has a new blog post on our article in Global Change Biology on the effects of climatic variation on timing of nesting in arctic-breeding shorebirds. Led by Eveling Tavera and Kirsty Gurney with the Arctic Shorebird Demographics Network. #ornithology 🪶 ak.audubon.org/news/arctic-...

Silver Lining for Shorebirds: New Study Shows Arctic Nesting Species Are Cued into Climate Change

Attentive long-distance migrants are following environmental cues better than expected, showing some shorebirds to be surprisingly adaptable.

Found an odd male diving duck west of Kautokeino in Finnmark. A mixture of features suggest it might be a hybrid between Ring-necked Duck and Canvasback, both of which are North American species. A rare hybrid but then also unusual to turn up as vagrant in northern Norway. ebird.org/checklist/S2...
