🚨New paper alert🚨📢
Happy to see my Science & Society paper out in @Trends_Ecol_Evo, which highlights the need to improve beach debris management for biodiversity conservation. #shorebirds #plovers #seabirds doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2024.…

Interesting plover talk about foraging habitat selection of Kentish Plover during incubation in Venice lagoon, by
@SimoImperio. @WaderStudy Conference #IWSG2024 in Montpellier #IWSG_conf #waders #shorebirds

Yesterday our “Conservation of coastal-breeding Plover” Workshop at the #IWSG2024 Conference in Montpellier, France, takes place! It’s an important step to connect plover scientists all over the world in an effort to shape conservation actions for plovers at our beaches.

@SimoImperio talks about the Kentish plover in Italy: partial migration and population dynamics. "Conservation of coastal-breeding plovers" Workshop. @WaderStudy Conference #IWSG2024 in Montpellier #IWSG_conf #waders #shorebirds
Our documentary about Kentish plover monitoring in Italy is finally ready! "The house of sand" (in Italian).

We did it! Here's what we missed while we were sleeping.
Before this year, the highest recorded 2-meter surface temperature for the Arctic was 5.694°C on July 26, 2020.
This year:
July 26: 5.696°C
July 27: 5.813°C
July 28: 5.907°C (42.63°F).
Yay for us f&%king humans!

Yesterday, Antarctic sea ice extent hit a new record statistical low of -6.65σ below the 1991-2020 mean. About a 1-in-70B chance w/o climate change.
This is not a graph of extent or anomaly. It is a graph of standard deviations -- a measure of how abnormal the year's data is.

Breaking News!!!
North Atlantic sea surface temperatures set a modern-day record high yesterday at an average of 24.90°C (76.82°F), passing the previous record of 24.89°C set September 2-4, 2022.
And there is at least another month of North Atlantic ocean warming ahead.

🧴 La #plastica in #mare non conosce confini.
E neanche gli uccelli marini che rischiano di ingerigla.
🤝 La collaborazione internazionale è fondamentale per prevenire l’#inquinamento da plastica negli oceani.

I prati e le praterie sono un bene prezioso indispensabili per garantirci sicurezza alimentare, mitigazione ai cambiamenti climatici, oltre che tanta bellezza.
Il 12 luglio l'@Europarl_IT con #RestoreNature potrà decidere la sorte di questi ambienti e di tutta la Natura!
Healthy and buzzing #grasslands are disappearing at an alarming rate due to the overuse of pesticides, overgrazing, and their conversion to monocultural croplands.
We call on the Members of Parliament to vote for nature and people next week at the plenary session on the EU Nature Restoration Law.
Without healthy ecosystems and flourishing biodiversity, a future on this planet is not possible.
It’s time to #RestoreNature!

Tracking data for 7137 petrels of 77 species reveal high plastic exposure risk in the Med/Black Seas, NE & NW Pacific, S Atlantic & SW Indian Oceans
Threatened species shared more of the risk, which occurred across many countries' waters & the high seas

Thanks to GPS tagging, we found that, in our site, incubating Kentish #plover females do not modulate foraging behaviour according to tide. They totally avoid foraging on the beach at night, likely to escape from long-eared owls

Mi opinión sobre lo de Will Smith es que la Antártida ha registrado temperaturas 40C más altas de lo normal y que científicos de todo el mundo están dejando sus empleos para lanzarse al activismo climático.

⚠️🙏🏽When you go to beaches with breeding birds, preferably use the shore and stay away from the tidal debris and dunes. Never take your dog 🐕 there, especially off the leash. Plover chicks are vulnerable to being stepped on🚶🏽 and predation by dogs
