We have ethical responsibilities to targeted species and to biodiversity, and we need to consider the well-being of both.

New publication: "Intercorrelations of Chlorinated Paraffins, Dechloranes, and Legacy Persistent Organic Pollutants in 10 Species of Marine Mammals from Norway, in Light of Dietary Niche" with @CAndvik , Eve Jourdain & @BorgaK from @biovitenskap @UniOslo

To better understand marine mammal bioaccumulation of legacy and unregulated CP and dechloranes we correlated with legacy POPs in multiple species from the Norwegian coast.
Surprising lack of overall correlation to relative trophic position.
Open access in ES&T 👇
#Arktis2030
In this ES&T study, @CAndvik, @BorgaK and team at @biovitenskap @UniOslo investigate the intercorrelations of chlorinated parrafins, dechloranes, and legacy #PersistentOrganicPollutants in different marine mammal species. #bioaccumulation

Your Teflon pan 🍳 sheds millions of microplastics loaded with PFAS during cooking – even brand new!
Groundbreaking @UON_research @CentreGcer discovered hidden hazards in Teflon pans used by families around the world. 🥴

Massively under-reported science story because there's so much going on right now but...it turns out that we might have figured out what's causing this very scary spike.
Quick thread, on how WE'VE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY GEOENGINEERING FOR DECADES...but then we stopped:

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes! 🤯 Even for me as a nest researcher, these are the craziest bird nests I've ever seen. Today my paper came out on this rebellious behaviour. And it's like telling a joke...
A thread. 🧵

These went up 3 days ago, adjacent to a very sensitive ecological site. Obscenely powerful, super white and high Kelvin. Note the insects flocking into the light - most of these will have perished over night after failing to go about their normal life pollinating, mating etc 💡

New paper outlines key considerations for new #Arctic port infrastructure:
🤝 Best practice & governance
👥 Include community & Indigenous Peoples
❄️ Common vs. Arctic challenges
⚠️ Comprehensive impact assessments
🌡️ Climate change

Inspiring the next generation of biologists! Today our group member @CAndvik held a presentation at the @UniOslo open day about what it is like to study @biovitenskap at @unioslo_mn - and specifically her research on killer whales and pollutants. Lots of interested students!

Reviewing a paper that uses a shapiro-wilk test to see if their response variable is normally distributed before using linear regression. This is not necessary! Linear regression does not assume a normally distributed response, it's the residuals that are normally distributed.
ALT set.seed(3) n <- 500 # create covariate covariate <- runif(n, -10, 10) # generate response variable y <- rnorm(n, 1 + 2 * covariate, 5) # oh no, not normally distributed (p < 0.05)! shapiro.test(y) # Shapiro-Wilk normality test # # data: y # W = 0.98609, p-value = 0.0001039 # fit linear regession anyways m1 <- lm(y ~ covariate) # get model residuals, this is what we assume to be # normally distributed. m_resid <- resid(m1) # oh wow, normally distributed (p > 0.05)! shapiro.test(m_resid) # Shapiro-Wilk normality test # # data: m_resid # W = 0.99728, p-value = 0.5847

Interesting tweet (will read the paper!) - important strand to be considered in the picture of cumulative impacts (i.e. multiple stressors) - #PCoD #PCoMS
Excited to share our new paper on #contaminants in #marinemammals in @STOTEN_journal 🐬☠️🌊
We used UK data to develop a methodology, which demonstrates marine mammals can be used as indicators to assess the health of European waters.

Fieldwork for MULTIWHALE is still ongoing by #norwegianorcasurvey 🐳 Our goals are a) aerial footage to assess disturbance from boats 🛥b) biopsy samples for lab analysis 🧪 c) photo ID work 📸 Master/PhDs from our group have joined for invaluable experience 😆🐳 – at Skjervøy, Norge

Here you can hear an interview on Norwegian radio about the #multiwhale project - first broadcast in May and re-broadcast last week while we were out sampling.
starts with a spectacular recording of the orcas made by Norwegian Orca Survey

Happy and proud that the last (for now?) publication in the urban gulls project is out! Big thanks to all collaborators and esp @BorgaK for having me on the project🐦 Check out our results on diet, pollution and stress urban vs remote herring gulls in the paper🥳
New study on urban Oslofjord herring gulls - here we compared dietary markers, pollution load and DNA damage with a remote breeding colony - Hornøya on the coast to the Barents Sea #urbanfjord
