I’m recruiting a PhD and MSC student for fall 2026 working on the movement ecology and conservation of Mexican spotted owls in SW forests and rocky canyonlands. Exciting partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory. Great vibrant lab group, high impact research! 🦉

Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.
The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.
Little ones all over Kuaihelani are in practice mode. Eventually they'll be getting higher than nest height. For now, they'll stretch and train those muscles needed for an eventual 6-foot wingspan!

This is not just any random report. This is a review of how the major federal fisheries on the U.S. west coast are assessed, basically how U.S. fisheries management should be altered so that it works better.
Hurray! Insects! 😀🌤️

Figure showing photgraphs of three seabird species (Atlantic Puffin, Sooty Shearwater and Eider Duck) plus illustration of new paper, a hand collecting seabird eggs and text reading: 'intentional take of seabirds for human consumption'
🚨New global review and next steps🚨
Intentional take of #seabirds for human consumption is happening in at least 56 countries and affects >100 migratory species. Data on sustainability, population impacts, and human health risks are often missing.

New study alert! Female Daubenton’s bats foraging at the cold edge of their range take turns using the same feeding spots at different times of night, thus reducing competition and helping them cope with the cold.

Wherever I end up, it's always fun to find colour-rings, so a double-hit of blue-ringed Black-headed Gulls, stood on the rails, around Salford Quays today was very welcome. Almost certainly local birds but no matter, a CR is a CR 🙂
Look forward to hearing more 👍

Fish: kind of important 🌍
As the breeding season begins, a reminder to think carefully before reporting rare breeding species on social media. They are vulnerable to disturbance & persecution.
if in doubt, keep it quiet & contact local/county recorders.
