I feel privileged to have made a small contribution to this excellent new paper by @heyjooode.bsky.social showing the effects of the recent HPAI on gannet mortality and predicting population recovery times! #seabirds #science

Our new research shows that HPAI increased Northern Gannet mortality by a factor of ~6 and ~4 at two of the world’s largest colonies.
We predict this impact will take almost two decades to recover from.
