We’re tagging more wild animals than ever – so how can this data be used for early alert, detection, and better management of zoonotic outbreaks?

So excited this piece is finally out, with an amazing team.

While scouting for a spot to trap wintering black kites, we found them roosting in a date palm plantation near a large compost facility. The trees were too tall for trapping, but seeing thousands of birds arriving at their roost at dusk was simply magical.

That is so True!

Hello there! I'm a movement ecologist and conservation scientist, fascinated by how movement shapes animal behavior and links to conservation.

My work focuses mostly on vultures, cranes, and pelicans to help inform conservation and management. Excited to be here and share ideas. #movementecology

Over the past 7 years, we've tracked 120+ cranes migrating from Russia to the Middle East, crossing either the Black Sea or the Caucasus. This year, one crane switched routes halfway - proof that tagged animals never stop surprising us! 🐦 Data collected with Ran Nathan's Movement Ecology Lab."
