At #CoimbraSeabirds conference, @BertilleMohring presents results on “pace-of-life” in two albatross species. Good stuff. Still so few studies that have looked at this. @TheSeabirdGroup

.@LilaBuckingham presents an individual based model of effects of displacement from #offshorewind farms on #seabirds at #CoimbraSeabirds conference. One of the clearest explanations of sub-lethal effects of #offshorewind that you could hope to hear.
