The 2-year-olds have started to arrive en masse and, with 83, now make up 18% of the registered birds at the colony. At 470 of those, we are exactly 70 above the number we had this time last year. Food is looking good too, and the chicks are growing nicely. ❤️
Excited to share our new paper out in @jexpbiol.bsky.social!
Here, we investigated how sex and age shape mitochondrial function under natural conditions in a long-lived seabird, the Common tern.
