.@LilaBuckingham presents an individual based model of effects of displacement from #offshorewind farms on #seabirds at #CoimbraSeabirds conference. One of the clearest explanations of sub-lethal effects of #offshorewind that you could hope to hear.

Outstanding plenary at #CoimbraSeabirds by Paco Bustamante on toxic effects of mercury on #seabirds. Lots of important but complex variation within and between species. The Seabird Group

Powerful talk by Signe Christensen-Dalsgaard at #CoimbraSeabirds showing paired historic and current photos illustrating the drastic declines in Norway’s #seabirds. Striking, sad images of now silent cliffs.

At #CoimbraSeabirds conference, Bertille Mohring presents results on “pace-of-life” in two albatross species. Good stuff. Still so few studies that have looked at this. The Seabird Group

Super talk by Eve Merrall at #CoimbraSeabirds on population sensitivity of #seabirds to anthropogenic threats. Interesting perspective on use of PVA in assessments - as part of holistic approach not in isolation. Nice follow-up to doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… The Seabird Group

New paper: We investigated kittiwake avoidance/attraction responses to three OWFs in the North Sea at macro-scale (0-4km) and to individual turbines (meso-scale). Results indicate slight attraction to the OWF boundary, but avoidance of individual turbines link.springer.com/article/10.100…
