We are hiring a postdoc to work on our NSF-funded project on suboscine bird diversification! Rough goal is to build phylogenies from massive dataset (data are incoming!) and analyze diversification. Posting: shorturl.at/RkYkE

NEW BLOG in #ornithology shows why we need dedicated people on #islands to count #seabirds - we can't do it from space: buff.ly/AJNtuIC The corresponding paper is here: buff.ly/2LeRZNJ

The first-ever encounter of a live colossal squid has been captured near the South Sandwich Islands by Schmidt Ocean! At just 30cm long, this young individual hasn't lived up to its name just yet. But adults are believed to reach lengths of up to 7m! youtube.com/watch?v=lzPoG9…

Concerns have been raised over potential budget cuts to the UK’s Darwin Plus fund, which supports vital conservation efforts in British Overseas Territories like the Falkland Islands. Projects such as New Island Restoration Programme, aimed at protecting seabird colonies and peatlands, could be at
