👁️ Could eye colour track avian flu outbreaks in wild birds?
This study finds different levels of iris pigmentation in Northern Gannets may indicate previous flu exposure, but more long-term validation is needed.

Delta Smelt 🐟 conservation often relies on hatchery-raised fish, but hatchery conditions may not prepare fish to survive in the wild. To help solve this problem, this study tested if managed wetland ponds could serve as semi-natural rearing habitats.

Seagrass restoration is valuable for marine conservation, yet replanting success is not guaranteed.
This study shows how biochemical measurements can help restoration efforts by providing early indicators of seagrass transplant’s health.

Some Fraser River sockeye salmon face a challenging migration to their spawn site.
This #BioLogging study used tags to reveal how salmon use and conserve energy, relying on burst swimming to reach their destination.
