New paper out today in @ecol-evol.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ece3.... The total size of the body’s fat stores is a crucial factor in understanding animal health, life history and conservation biology, but no established method exists to measure it in large marine animals without capturing them.

🔊 Paper alert! 🐬🎧 Noise of high-speed vessels 🚤 impairs the #biosonar ability of #harbourporpoises 🐬 - making it more difficult for them to 🤯 sense surroundings, 🧭 navigate and 🐟 hunt prey within several hundred meters. 🥳Huge contribution to understanding masking effects! 🌐 doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

Ever wondered why seals don't drown? New groundbreaking research from @smruecophys.bsky.social led by @chrismcknight.bsky.social published in @science.org reveals that, unlike other mammals, seals can sense blood oxygen levels. Paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

BirdTrack data shows that the big arrival of Chiffchaff in the last week is around two weeks earlier than the long term average. Many summer migrants to the UK are now arriving earlier as a response to climate change www.bto.org/our-science/...

Great to see coverage of the important work by Finnish colleagues on Saimaa seal conservation. Direct hands on effort by small dedicated teams can have real conservation impact. 🧪🌍🦭🦑 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hello world! Here on Bluesky looking to learn and share interesting wildlife science and conservation stories, and make connections. I will more than likely have a marine bias to my feed, and may occasionally slip and repost about my other interests like surfing and horses. Science bio 🧵👇 #FirstPost
