#NewPaperAlert #MCP collab with @Georgetown @audubonsociety reviews shortfalls in tracking data to inform conservation for migratory birds
Since 1970, over 2.5 billion migratory birds have vanished from our skies. 😢 But here's the GOOD NEWS: We have the power to save them! 🦅✨ The 1st step? Figuring out where they go with tracking technology! 🛰️

Does conservation work? Our paper by @rewild shows that it does: a global analysis of 665 trials (incl. several by @RSPBScience) found that conservation improved the state of biodiversity or slowed declines in two-thirds of cases @BirdLife_Sci

Tracked migratory birds are documenting their own deaths along the African-Eurasian flyway. Energy infrastructure, illegal killing & poisoning to blame, outstripping natural mortality causes in tracked raptors, storks & cranes. #Ornithology

The migratory behavior of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) post-smolts in coastal waters is poorly understood. In this collaborative study, 1914 smolts, from 25 rivers, in four countries were tagged...
