Very happy to present our work at @eoufledglings.bsky.social. Thank you to the organisers for a great event and to @dornitholges.bsky.social for supporting me with a travel grant. Amazing experience 🦆 🦅 🦢🐦‍⬛🪿🦜

We've all heard the "rule" that evolution favors promiscuous males and choosy females. But not always! Researchers found that in black coucals (pic below, since I'd never heard of them!) females had steeper Bateman gradients than males i.e. a greater fitness gain for each additional mating partner🧪

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Very grateful to work alongside women who I admire and who inspire me every day. Thank you, Ela!! #womeninscience

Our new paper is out in #ProcB !! 🥳 @royalsocietypublishing.org @dudumizi.bsky.social @chorlnev.bsky.social

New research provides evidence that mercury and PFAS can influence mitochondrial function in free-living seabirds, highlighting bioenergetics as a sensitive mechanistic link between pollution exposure and organismal health. 🔗 Press release: www.bi.mpg.de/news/2026-01-hau

Excited to share our new paper! 🎉 we explored foraging behavior, contaminant exposure ( #Hg & #PFAS), and mitochondrial bioenergetics, revealing how #pollution can affect cellular energy in an apex marine predator @stefi-casagrande.bsky.social #mitochondria pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
