JOB DONE! 🚁🌤️Baiting on #Gough is complete! Now there‘s nothing more we can do to increase our chances of eradicating the mice – everyone has given this everything they’ve got. Definitely a 🏅 for #TeamGough for effort. Now time for a well-deserved cuppa... #conservationoptimism

The penalty shootout in football is the essence of performing under pressure. I spent 5 years of my life studying the Psychology of this event. Here's what I learned, which can also help understanding it in the current Euros/Copa America. Thread based on 10 of our studies. (1/13)

New #FeatureArticle by Evert Mul & colleagues:
Killer whales in northern Norway are attracted to herring fisheries, which provide them with beneficial foraging opportunities. Attraction can lead to whale entanglements or reduced catch for the fishers.

A new paper of ours looking at the diet of spotted-necked otters. Interestingly it shows how individuals' diets can differ.
