New open access paper! Led by Joshua Coste Results show tropical seabirds meet diurnal constraints by navigating efficiently back to low-lying reef atoll colonies doi.org/10.1016/j.an... Great work from Joshua's masters internship with @uniexecec.bsky.social and @iomarinescience.bsky.social

New paper alert! Really excited to see this work from a postdoc with Steve Votier @heriotwattuni.bsky.social published in Ecology & Evolution! In it, we use existing bio-logging data to study competition and facilitation in foraging gannets. Link to paper here: dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Atolls are vital for seabirds - and vice versa! 🐦🏝️💞 Check out my Nature Ecology & Evolution News & Views article: nature.com/articles/s41... 📸 Nathan Hudson-Peacock; sooty terns on an atoll island.

Really proud of our new guide to processing and exploring animal tracking data in R which has just been published in @animalecology.bsky.social! If you work with animal tracking data or have a student that does then please read and share! Lots of useful code and a shiny app for data vis!

New insight into tropical seabird foraging ecology led by @ruthedunn.bsky.social Red-footed boobies select foraging habitat at different scales, responding to environments available at sea & encountered on route Out now & open access: doi.org/10.1007/s002...

Out now in Marine Biology: "From route to dive: multi-scale habitat selection in a foraging tropical seabird" 🐦🐟 doi.org/10.1007/s002... We found that red-footed booby habitat selection varied between their foraging routes in comparison to their dive locations 🌊🌞
