New paper from our lab "Support for the fasting endurance hypothesis of partial migration in a nearshore seabird". Hint: nearshore seabird = Brown Pelican! Thx to @USGS & @BOEM for supporting this work. @USGSCoopUnits @ClemsonCAFLS @ClemsonUniv esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

20 years ago this week I arrived at Clemson University for my new job as Assistant Unit Leader at the SC Cooperative Research Unit. I've had great colleagues & students and am grateful for all they have taught me. And thx to the pelicans! @ClemsonCAFLS @USGSCoopUnits @SCDNR

A new open access paper out from colleaugues Hannah Madden @YvanSatge & @Pelican_Paths Brad Wilkinson and myself on foraging ecology of Red-billed Tropicbirds: marineornithology.org/PDF/50_2/50_2_… @BirdsCaribbean

New paper from our lab in @conphysjournal on blood biochemistry in brown pelicans from the Gulf of Mexico. It's not all about how close they are to oil and gas activity! Thx to my coauthors @project_pelican @YvanSatge & Christine Fiorello doi.org/10.1093/conphy…

Why did I not think to extend the undo send time for gmail until today?

Pleased to share a new paper from our team based on seabird surveys conducted in the Gulf of Mexico as part of #GoMMAPPS. Seabird vulnerability to oil: Exposure potential, sensitivity, and uncertainty in the northern Gulf of Mexico frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

It's always a treat to move a manuscript folder into a new parent folder for 'completed manuscripts'.

Great news from our colleagues in Haiti, who recently found a nest of the endangered Black-capped Petrel nest on Haiti’s Highest Peak, Pic La Selle, for the first time in over 60 years! epicislands.org/first-petrel-n… @EPICislands @USFWSBirds @ABCbirds #TeamPetrel

What is it with reviewer 2? Do they have an inferiority complex b/c they were not Reviewer 1? Did they miss the class in Reviewer school on how to provide a good review while still being polite? Seems like someone needs to do a podcast about this.

Excited to share a special issue of @FrontMarineSci on Ecological and Behavioral Traits of Apex Predators in Oceanic Insular Ecosystems. 4 papers so far and more to come. frontiersin.org/research-topic… @Seabirders @BOEM

This is a very well organized and well run twitter conference going on its 8th year. Great to see @WilsonOrnithSoc sponsoring a prize! @Seabirders

Just got off a call with a colleague @SCDNR. She mentioned digging into theses from our lab from several years ago to pull out details on nesting from a few different species. A great reminder of the enduring value of the work our students do and how it supports our partners.

Teaching days are always a time warp...how did it get to be so late in the day already?!

We just learned of the passing of Dr. David Tonkyn who served on the faculty @ClemsonBioSci for many years. Dave had a positive impact on so many! He will be missed but his scientific legacy will carry on.
