These results highlight the importance of limiting artificial light at night (ALAN) to protect populations of threatened seabirds such as Leach’s Storm Petrels, particularly during the peak stranding period of September through October.

Power down for Petrels! @MemorialUSci Student Tori Burt presented her study @PacificSeabirds’ 2023 annual conference in San Diego, CA, finding that turning off lights significantly reduced the number of Leach’s Storm Petrel strandings at a mass stranding site in Bay de Verde, NL.

New paper alert! Members of the Montevecchi Lab collaborated with graduate students in @MemorialUSci @MUN_Psychology on a systematic review of #AnimalPersonality in #Conservation - turns out animal personality is really important! Read it for FREE here:

Bob Hennebury ATVed from just east of Pt May to Lord's Cove on the southern Burin Pen and counted 257 dead seabirds. Mostly murres, 7-8 gannets, 7-8 gulls, 6 puffins and some razorbills!

Dead Common Murres + gannets showing up on southern Burin Peninsula fr/ Pt May to Lamaline about 25 km. Bob Hennebury (709-857-2228) in Lord's Cove is keeping tally. This may be the 1st wave of avian flu moving from the Gulf of St. Lawrence along the S NF coast. Keep looking.

impressive achievements ... important research ... onward
Congrats to Dr. Carole Peterson who was awarded 235K to study 'Childhood amnesia and early memories in children and adults' & Dr. Dave Wilson who was awarded 200K to study "The ecology and evolution of amplitude in animal acoustic communication systems" @NSERC_CRSNG @MemorialUSci

Last night I captured one of my best images to date. Probably the single most important event in a Guillemot's life. Unable to yet fly, a 3-week-old chick leaps off the cliff, following its dad who will teach it how to fend for itself out at sea over the coming weeks.
