Congrats to @DrLaurenRoman @mpred_lab and colleagues for this much needed seabird population demography and conservation tool!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #DECRA #ARC @IMASUTAS.
Scientists have developed a rapid, accurate way to estimate seabird age (many live 70+ yrs). The new tool measures changes in an animal’s DNA as it ages. And it could revolutionise assessments of threatened seabird populations & boost conservation efforts!.

@thepengatross on the recent demise of a King penguin sighted in SA in recent months a long way from the closest breeding colony on #MacquarieIsland.

While the presence of two sizeable pieces of plastic in the bird's stomach were concerning, its cause of death was most likely a dog or fox attack.
