More intense human-caused heat extremes have reduced terrestrial bird abundance - in particular in the tropics - more than other human pressures

Exciting job opportunity in #ornithology
A climate-induced reduction in sandeel length in the North Sea could result in a decline in calofiric value (energy content) per fish of ca. 40% with significant consequences for #seabirds that depend on them @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk

To understand effects of climate change on fish size we need to account for both direct physiological effects & changes in resource availability. Turbidity (via its impact on intake rates in visual foragers) may also impact sandeel size. www.int-res.com/abstracts/me...
Lovely blog from one of @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk student-led summer expedition adding to long-term monitoring of #seabird in Iceland since 2014 #ornithology

Fantastic to see this outcome of Francis’ internship at @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk being out now
Increased foraging effort in poor-food years is related to nutritional state (fat metabolism) in Peruvian Boobies

How are movement patterns affected by energy expenditure & gain, and what does it mean for fitness? This @iapetusdtp.bsky.social PhD opportunity will use data on movement & demography of kittiwakes & spatio-temporal food abundance across their range
