A new study (link.springer.com/article/10.1...) compares the diets of Scopoli’s and Yelkouan shearwaters.
Despite a wide diet, a few pelagic fish species stood out.
Protection of spawning areas and selective fishing are needed for shearwaters and fisheries to co-exist in the region.

Most worryingly, we found evidence of neurodegeneration in <90-day-old seabird chicks with high levels of ingested plastic - protein expression signatures akin to what we see in human patients with dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (3/5)

At the 2024 Movecolab.it meeting @ecotos.bsky.social presented his PhD project on #plastic ingestion in Mediterranean shearwaters.
Plastic has been found in 16 out of the 18 Scopoli's shearwaters (dead for bycatch) checked last week.
Great collaboration with Susanne Kuehn and Jan van Franeker
