🚨Today the African Penguin has been uplisted to Critically Endangered by the IUCN, just one short step away from extinction in the wild. It’s simple, the longer we wait the more we lose. 🐧 Uplist report: tinyurl.com/3yfaabu9 Petition: tinyurl.com/2pdf32ke

🚨 🌡️August will be the warmest month ever recorded in Longyearbyen (Svalbard) at 78°N in the Arctic, reaching an average temperature of 11°C (+-0.1°C). This surpasses even July's records by a large margin, while July is historically the warmest month. Uncharted territory.

The 16th edition of Ecology & Behaviour is now over😢Thank you all for coming! It's been such an incredible week! 😍Thank you all for your kindness, curiosity and good mood! See you soon for the next edition 😉 Stay tuned to find out where it will take place🔎

This year we spent our field season up north in Svalbard in a field camp without internet. Therefore, in the next while you will see some of our highlights that we could not share previously. We investigated #migration, #phenology, and #foraging. #teamAuk #ornithology #seabirds

There are only a few days left to apply for a PhD in our group. Come work with us! polarecologygroup.wordpress.com/join-us-for-ph…

Happy to share my first PhD paper on black-faced cormorants! journals.biologists.com/bio/article/13…

Have you ever seen a #seabird not feeding their own chick? 🐥👀 In some species it is quite common, while in others it is not often reported. Is it because it is rare or are there other reasons? Check out our new paper: doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1… #ornithology
