We are seeking an ornithologist/modeller for a 2-year POST-DOC in Turin. Using archaeological remains, we will reconstruct past avian communities to understand the impacts of climate change and human pressure on birds through time. For details see cutt.ly/irN76QDZ PLEASE RT. #ornithology #AviArch

I have a job opening in my lab. If you are interested in bird behaviour and predator prey interactions please take a look! werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies...

When we hypothesised female terns to have lower mercury levels than males due to egg laying, @matteobeccardi.bsky.social et al designed an elegant experiment to prove the effectiveness of this pathway. That proof just got published & the open access paper can be found here: doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

🧪 BEARDED VULTURE stomach acid is so strong (pH ~1) that it dissolves bone completely, extracting fat and calcium. This adaptation allows them to survive on resources inaccessible to almost any other animal. www.projectvulture.org.za #AfricanOrnithology #beardedvulturerecoveryprogramme

🦅 Bird of the Month: BEARDED VULTURE Ahead of International Vulture Day, we’re spotlighting one of the world’s most remarkable scavengers. @vultureday projectvulture.org.za #AfricanOrnithology #BeardedVulture #VultureDay #BeardedVultureRecoveryProgramme #ProjectVulture

🦅 Today is International Vulture Day! Vultures may not always get the spotlight, but they are vital to healthy ecosystems. Today, we celebrate Africa’s incredible vulture diversity. Let’s give vultures the recognition they deserve. 🌍 @vultureday #VultureDay #AfricanOrnithology #BeardedVulture

Perceptions of #pigeons are not trivial. How we see them (either as companions or gross rats with wings) shapes the behaviour and #management policies that structure pigeon populations and the #pathogens they carry.

My new favourite paper title 😂 - "I know what you ate last breeding season: anthropogenic food subsidies as a driver of the trophic ecology of nesting Kelp Gulls in a freshwater ecosystem in Patagonia, Argentina." Rosciano et al. J. of Zoo. zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Very happy to share that our paper presenting a framework for optimal movement decisions in complex landscapes has just been published in TREE @stephharris.bsky.social @jacobnabe.bsky.social tinyurl.com/d45s36y5

New meta-analysis underlines that Grey Squirrels are really a very minor nest predator in UK, despite once considered probably very important in woodland bird declines. Good example of evidence overturning dogma, allowing focus on real issues. #ornithology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Well, this is an interesting 🧪🔭 Over 500 species of birds globally were reviewed, with the authors reporting that human-induced light pollution is having a measurable effect on other species (this is not the only piece of evidence for this). Cities should be built with light pollution mitigation!

Wonderful plenary by Rose Thorogood on information ecology and behavioural responses of birds in a changing world! She also has a #postdoc position available! Contact her asap if interested! #ornithology #EOU2025
