#WSTC7 #ForSesh3 1/4 During the #RAZO breeding season, capelin, an important prey🐟for marine predators, migrates into coastal #NL to spawn, ⬆️food abundance. Due to changing ocean conditions the timing and amount of this food resource has become highly variable @DavorenLab

Always love hearing about razorbills ❤️❤️❤️ #TeamAuk! Their bite is as bad as their bark and I wouldn't have it any other way! #WSTC8
(1/4) #WSTC8 #BehaSesh2 Personality is common in animals and can influence behaviour, with boldness being the most studied trait. Growing research on seabird personality. We studied adult razorbills to identify personality and its effects on behaviour including migration.

This has sparked the creative in me that has been tucked away for several months and I can't wait to doodle away!!!!
Greetings #seabirders! Last year, the logo contest for #WSTC7 was such a success that we decided to do it again! If you want to design the logo for #WSTC8 that will be used in all #WSTC publications, see below for how to submit ⬇️ We’re excited to see all your creations soon!

Okay, off to Demography & Surveys II & Diet I where I'll be talking at 1515 UTC about how optimal foraging is different at low than at high latitudes, and why pelicans are like whales! Others in this session: @Scure167, @jjwaggitt, @MJPolito, @sham_jammm. #WSC3

I successfully defended my Master's thesis today and I am beyond excited, happy, proud. Even dealing with this pandemic, I have loved every step of my Master's. I love my lab and my lab mates and especially my sweet razo babes. @E_Runnells @DavorenLab

#WSTC7 #ForSesh3 3/4 Capelin biomass was much lower in 2020 than 2017/2019. Once capelin arrived in the study area, foraging trip characteristics were lower in 2017/2019 than 2020. As was also the case in # of dives between 2017/2020. ⬇️in prey⬆️in foraging effort #moveVis

#WSTC7 #ForSesh3 4/4 With⬇️capelin biomass, #RAZO in 2020 had lower adult/chick body condition. Continued variability in prey🐟due to natural and non-natural changes may lead to⬆️foraging effort and⬇️body condition in #seabirds, leading to potential long-term population effects
