Another day of #AnimoveCR 😀 Analysing animal movement with continuous-time models by @ecoisilva.bsky.social and Chris Fleming, ending with a fantastic plenary talk by @kamransafi.bsky.social on Kruger National Park research.
#AnimoveCR has started 🐒🦥🦇🐸🦜🦂🕷️ with a Natural History Walk. It was fantastic!

Excited to be in Costa Rica for the #AnimoveCR course in Movemenent Ecology that starts soon! Ready to meet everyone!🐸🐍🐢🦥🦜🦇🪸

Meanwhile visiting volcanos 🌋

Countdown for #AnimoveCR at La Selva Estación Biológica, Organization of Tropical Studies 👍
We will see you tomorrow!

🚨 New Research Alert!
Urban air pollution harms wildlife too. A study in Journal of Hazardous Materials shows yellow-legged gull chicks in Barcelona act as sentinels for air quality. 🐦🌆

🚨 Paper Alert!
New study reveals how waterbirds transport plastic from landfills to wetlands in Cádiz Bay. 3 species compared: white storks, yellow-legged gulls & lesser black-backed gulls.

🚨 Paper Alert!
Interesting study by @icmcsic.bsky.social: 97% of bottom trawl hauls in the NW Mediterranean contained marine litter. A massive and persistent problem on fishing grounds.

Linking marine litter from land sources to its spatial distribution on fishing grounds in the NW Mediterranean Sea
Marine litter (ML), predominantly originating from land, tends to accumulate on the seabed, where it is often caught unintentionally by bottom trawler…

🧵 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? 🧬🌍
