In our new paper, @StuBearhop and I suggest that we can draw similarities (and contrasts) across divergent migratory taxa by considering energetics. xitter.gq/AnimalEcology/status/1…

Spring is in the air and our @ornitela tagged oystercatchers are on the move, ready for the breeding season! This one had a cheeky day in Iceland before heading back south to the Faroes.. little bit of sight-seeing, why not? 😂 @EcologicalKrc @StuBearhop @XavHarrison

The SI results show C:N ratio and δ15N values in faeces were significantly linked to fat deposition during the latter stages with fatter individuals having lower C:N ratio and higher δ15N. This suggests catabolism (reorganisation of proteins) occurring prior to departure. 9/10

Our results suggest a strategic delay in migratory departure to enable reorganisation into a flying phenotype and that the extent of this varies among individuals. 10/10

Air Traffic Controls? The UK's climate policy is at odds with air traffic policy leading to contradictory decision-making and a race to expand local airports. What is going on, and how can we fix it? Read the first in a 3-part blog series by @KalHarv. blogs.exeter.ac.uk/energy/20…

You may have noticed a weird sense of shock and exhaustion from climate and energy folks around Australia's PM's showing at the #LeadersClimateSummit. I think it's a really significant moment, and tried to explain why here: reneweconomy.com.au/morrison… A short 🧵, too ->

Morrison finds shameless new way to fake climate action as world steps up

As major emitters took major steps to enhancing climate action, Scott Morrison figured out a stunning new way to fake emissions reductions.
