ShAPE Lab

Congratulations and farewell to ShAPE Lab 2018 graduates Abram Fleishman @abfleishman and Susan Cockerham and welcome to new lab members Anqi Chen and Sean Gee!

New paper available on the winter migratory patterns of Red-legged kittiwakes! Distributional fidelity, isotopic niche, and the impact of seasonal ice cover...@RachaelOrben @abfleishman int-res.com/articles/theme… #seabirds

And we are honored to help contribute to the great work surrounding this amazing population of auklets! #Farallones50 #RhinosReturn int-res.com/abstracts/meps… twitter.com/PointBlueConSc…

We highlight QFASA as a tractable method for monitoring fisheries exploitation in albatross in our new @FrontMarineSci manuscript @ShafferAvian @mitani_yoko @DanielPCosta2 @Seabirders Access here! doi.org/10.3389/fmars.…

Interesting new paper looking at how albatross find squid in the deep ocean - check out the images captured by the birds themselves! #seabirds #squid int-res.com/abstracts/meps…

New #OA paper in @MEPS_IR about the foraging ecology of rhinoceros auklets in the @GFNMS! Adults alter strategy based on interannual variability. @PointBlueConSci #seabirds #foraging doi.org/10.3354/meps12…

Congratulations to Olivia Townsend for winning honorable mention in the Best MS Poster category at #PSG2018! Two years in a row for the lab! From Forster's terns to red-tailed tropicbirds, we like #seabird research

New paper examining the egg turning behavior of Forster's terns in the San Francisco Bay! Featuring 3-D printed eggs, tech, and #hatchability to spare. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Another newly-available prepress abstract in @MEPS_IR about our research with rhinoceros auklets in the Farallones! Chick-brooding adults use different areas of the shelf break system depending on local oceanography doi.org/10.3354/meps12…

Hg from the deep sea brought to surface feeding piscivorous seabirds by their myctophid prey during diel vertical migration @abfleishman @RachaelOrben @ShafferAvian #AMSS2018

Abram Fleishman of @sjsu presents his work on mercury in #seabirds related to #beringsea wintering areas. #AMSS2018

Adding oceanographic relationships to the conversation about mercury exposure in red-legged kittiwakes @abfleishman #AMSS2018

Prepress abstract now available on the winter ecology of red-legged kittiwakes! Distributional fidelity? What about isotopic niche? How impacted are they by seasonal ice cover? Coming soon @RachaelOrben @abfleishman int-res.com/prepress/m1245…

Foraging Behavior and Energetics of Albatrosses in Contrasting Breeding Environments: Michelle Antolos, Scott A. Shaffer, Henri Weimerskirch, Yann Tremblay, Daniel P. Costa goo.gl/eGCo8i

Recent paper in @FrontMarineSci examining foraging and energetic differences between ecologically-similar albatross across ocean basins. Laysan, black-footed, and yellow-nosed, oh my! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Corey Cla-la-la-la-latterbuck 🎄 @Cocotross Paper on western gull habitat use is out! …ementecologyjournal.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1… Do you think any of our birds caught a @SFGiants game at ATT Park? #seabirdersaturday #teamgull

Lovely study on differences in foraging behavior and habitat use between #gulls populations, with implications for differences in breeding success #seabirds #ornithology …ementecologyjournal.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1…

New #OA paper on differences in foraging site selection (land vs. sea) between two colonies of Western gulls in central CA. Implications for breeding success! #seabirds #laridsrule #movementecology …ementecologyjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Have you ever seen the thought process of a great white #shark before they attack? Watch the full sequence 240 feet deep. @WHOI @REMUSAUV

Friday Snack time after an afternoon of extracting oceanographic data #gradschool is flying by!
