Are you in Scandinavia right now? Very nice shot!

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall! You made the world a better place. Let's try to follow Jane's footsteps and inspiration and try to make a difference. The right kind of difference!

New report out on kelp / brown seaweed harvesting. After many years of harvesting there is still very little we know...

SEAPOP.bsky.social @seapop.bsky.social · Nov 29

New report about seaweed harvesting on possible effects on #seabirds and #shorebirds from @ninadehnhard.bsky.social & colleagues at Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. GPS #tracking data from SEAPOP showed overlap in area use for some coastal seabird populations with areas that are trawled.

Er høsting av tang og tare en trussel mot fuglelivet?

Kommersiell høsting av viltvoksende tang og tare er en viktig næring langs norskekysten. Tang og tare er et uunnværlig råstoff i en rekke industrier, fra matproduksjon og dyrefôr til legemidler og bio...

#birdwatching on #OctoberBigDay - 51 species and > 2000 individuals. Not a bad result for October in central #Norway. A lot of migrants have left already - no surprise, as we were met by crispy cold temperatures, but blue sky. ebird.org/tripreport/2...

New article on #plastics in #faeces samples of shag chicks. 25 out of 36 samples contained microplastics > 100 µm; we found 17 particles per g dry mass and clear evidence for parental transfer of plastics.

“Fine-scale foraging behaviour of European Shags in kelp forests"

@ninadehnhard.bsky.social reveals that European Shags spend 83% of their dive time in kelp forests, emphasizing the critical role of kelp habitats in their foraging. 🌳

The fieldseason on Sklinna was a success also this year. Lots of data collected, lots of loggers deployed. Want to know more? - read my blog post:

GPS #biotracking of #shags on Sklinna done for this season. We got 59 of 60 trackers back. GPS & dive loggers help us identify important foraging areas, critical for marine spatial planning. #seabirds #mpa @seapop.bsky.social

#European 🇪🇺 #elections today. I hope many of my friends in Europe are going voting today/ have voted already for a strong, peaceful and united Europe, and against nationalist interests that are splitting what has taken so long to build. My #vote went in by letter a few weeks ago

Another encounter with #fishing nets that are killing #seabirds. We couldn't save the shag anymore, but the guillemot got to live. #fieldwork at Sklinna #Norway for @seapop.bsky.social

Kittiwake count in Rørvik. #Seabirds #fieldwork for NINA & @seapop.bsky.social. Looks like the #avianinfluenza outbreak last year had no major impact on this population #HPAI #H5N1

Several #seabird species, especially common guillemots and #puffins in the SEAPOP-colony Hornøya, are currently affected by an #oilspill. The source of the oil is unknown. Article in Norwegian - pictures speaking for themselves #pollution

Oljesøl dreper utrydningstruede sjøfugler i Finnmark – jakt på kilden til utslippet

Tung, seig olje har rammet hundrevis av utrydningstruede sjøfugler i naturreservatet på Hornøya i Finnmark. Ingen vet hvor dødsfellen befinner seg i havet.

Great #scicomm project led by my colleague Signe Christensen-Dalsgaard illustrating the dramatic declines of #seabird populations in Norway.

The article is in Norwegian but the photos speak for themselves.

Hvorfor forsvinner fuglene fra fuglefjellene Syltefjord, Runde, Røst og Hornøya?

På 50 år har 8 av 10 fugler forsvunnet fra de norske fuglefjellene.

#NewPaper providing a framework that YOU can use to estimate the amount of energy that any population of marine bird (e.g. #seabirds, ducks, & divers) uses day-to-day.

It was a pleasure to co-lead this with my PhD pal Jamie Duckworth 🐦

Out now in JEB: doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

Image reads:
Journal of Experimental Biology, A framework to unlock marine bird energetics.
A myriad of BMR multipliers -> An easy-to-follow framework -> Exciting new energetic insights.
We compiled BMR multipliers for you to combine with your data, using our framework to calculate the energy expenditure of any bird.
In the background is a figure illustrating the different marine bird families, their ecological guilds, and whether BMR multiplier data are available. There's also an illustration of a great auk eating a fish.
