🧵 Did you know gulls can carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria?

We studied whether this “silent infection” affects their movement. Do they travel less? Use different habitats? 🧬🌍

Have you ever wondered if #AMR affects the movement behaviour of the host?🧪🧫

As a first approach, we show how #gulls carrying antibiotic-resistant E. coli show different movement patterns in travelled distances and covered areas! 👇

Feeling old after new year? #BCNGULLS too!

#GPS tracking revealed that gulls at different ages showed different spatial, diet and foraging strategies 👇
