Seabirds get jet-lagged just like humans — and it causes navigational errors when foraging for food, a new study found. https://wapo.st/4A55hLb

Seabirds can experience jet lag 🐦

A new study led by @biology.ox.ac.uk has found that long-distance flights can disrupt seabirds’ internal clocks, causing navigation errors.

Below the image, white text on a dark blue background reads: “Study finds that long-distance flights can throw seabirds’ internal clocks out of sync, causing navigation errors.” The University of Oxford name and ox.ac.uk/news appear at the bottom.

"A new Science study on Manx Shearwaters, #seabirds that can fly hundreds of kilometres a day over the North Atlantic, shows they jet-lag themselves during their excursions. And because these birds navigate by the Sun, that jet lag leaves a measurable mark—it skews their compass."

We have a new preprint out on bioRxiv! We worked with a really fun team of people, including @martha-nelson.bsky.social @acb-virevo.bsky.social, Wendy Puryear, Nicole Knobloch, and others to reconstruct patterns of H5N5 transmission in North America. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
H5N5 virus transmission is driven by repeated cross-Atlantic introductions and transmission among high latitude seabirds
In November 2025, the first global H5N5 infection was reported in a person in Washington State. Previously, these viruses had only been detected in seabirds and shorebirds near the Atlantic Ocean, sug...
