Bill Montevecchi is known for his optimism, curiosity, intelligence, integrity, and mentorship. Join us to celebrate Bill with a Lifetime Achievement Award during #PSG2021 for his contributions to #seabird #science & conservation over his 40+ year career #ApartTogether

In our final talk for the management, planning, policy session Verena Peschko talked about how operating and planned wind farms impact common murres. Murres avoided areas around wind farms, meaning current plans would cause habitat loss and displacement for the birds. #PSG2021

3/6 14:56 Flying for the albatross is mainly effortless, landing can be a little bit harder. #RoyalCam chick had a front row seat to a ‘how not to land’ lesson. Lucky for the somersaulting alby, recovery was quick and only the chick was watching!! AllAboutBirds.org/Albatross

Have u heard the news? 7th Int'l Bio-logging Symposium will be Oct 18-22 - transmitted virtually from Hawaii to the rest of the world! Abstract submissions are open thru May 16. Let’s make this the largest & most inclusive BLS yet! #biologging bls7hawaii.com 🧵 1/8

🦢New paper! 📃 Which gannets are most at risk from high concentration of wind farms in southern N. Sea? We compare tracking data from juveniles & adults at Bass Rock with 2 types of survey data (aerial survey & ESAS) to gain novel insights. Read away: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I'm thrilled about our freshly published #shelduck paper! Using #tracking data we found two females, which skipped or shortened #moulting of flight #feathers, likely due to a time shortage between breeding and winter. rdcu.be/cQhA3 | FTZ Marine Animal Ecology |Michael-Otto-Institut im NABU

🤥The Lithuanian government has reported that 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 6 seabirds were bycaught in their waters from 2015-2019. But our new paper shows that 1,500-3,000 seabirds are bycaught by the Lithuanian coastal fleet 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧. birdlife.org/news/2022/08/0… #bycatch #saveseabirds

Eurasian #curlew migration strongly overlaps with areas of highest #windfarm intensity in the #balticsea. Up to 75% of flight time is spent on turbine levels indicating high #collisionrisk regardless of time of day. Schwemmer et al. doi:10.1111/acv.12817

Neue Studie des FTZ Marine Animal Ecology: Massive Verdrängung von #Seevögeln durch #Offshorewind in der Nordsee. Die Politik muss sich dem stellen @BMWK @BMUV! Eine kluge Standortwahl aber auch die kritische Überprüfung der Ausbauziele ist notwendig. nature.com/articles/s4159…

„Die Tiere meiden die Anlagen konsequent, auch wenn sich die Propeller nicht drehen. Bauten dieser Art auf dem #Meer gab es in ihrer Evolutionsgeschichte nicht….Es könnte sogar sein, dass sich die Seetaucher ganz aus der Region zurückziehen.“ #vögel ndr.de/nachrichten/sc…

Wann nimmt die Politik @BMWK @BMUV Mahnungen der Wissenschaft FTZ Marine Animal Ecology ernst? Mit einem Industriepark Nordsee konterkarieren wir Paris & Montreal. #Meeresschutz = #Klimaschutz.

🇬🇧 Here is some news from our collaboration with the Universität Kiel CAU 🎓, ECOLAB - Marine Animal Ecology, with Dr. Miriam Lerma (Dr. Miriam Lerma) and Dr. Stefan Garthe (Stefan Garthe) to study the Yellow-footed gull distribution and behaviour 🦤🗺️📍 1/2...

...2/2 As you know we are giving a second life to instruments the researchers previously used in other projects (the Zombie project🧟‍♂️) and getting very valuable information on this very peculiar species. 🧐Did you notice they don't like to go inland?🐧🌊

Strong displacement effects indicate potential habitat loss for 68 % of #commonguillemots in the German North Sea due to offshore wind farm development plans until 2045. Peschko, V. et al. doi.org/10.1007/s10531… #seabirds #northsea #windenergy #offshorewindfarms
