PhD studentship in bird ecology and behaviour at the Museum of Natural History in Madrid

Lost bird rediscovered! 🙌 After more than 20 years, the Critically Endangered Jerdon's Courser has been documented again by a team of Indian birdwatchers. 🎉 Find out more about the ‘Search for Lost Birds’ here 👉 www.birdlife.org/news/2025/09...

Humans have been interacting with whales for a long time. This paper describes tools made from whale bones up to 20,000 years ago in the Bay of Biscay - including from gray and right whales, two species since extirpated from European shores. 🧪🌎 #History #envhist www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper led by @cetaceanyouri.bsky.social sheds new light into the gray whale's mysterious early demise from European shores: likely the result of medieval whaling all along its migratory route, gone by the mid-14th Century. Death by a thousand cuts. 🧪🌎 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Fresh off the press! Our perspective in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com discusses the wealth of information on biodiversity contained in historical sources, and its integration for long-term ecological knowledge and biodiversity conservation. A thread on the paper and what led to it: rdcu.be/eEcIt

Migratory birds aren’t equally efficient at all speeds. A new Lund University study shows thrush nightingales fly most efficiently at 7–8 m/s – the speed they actually use on migration. @pablomaciastorres.bsky.social & Prof. Anders Hedenström, Animal Flight Lab. www.biology.lu.se/article/not-...

Let's talk about *how we can know* that crows understand geometry. 🧪 The study from Univ. of Tübingen faculty on two male carrion crows (Corvus corone) trained to select "outliers" from a set of shapes in exchange for a food reward. The set member that doesn't "belong" is called the "intruder".

Wow! ❄️ Checked out the paper agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... in JGR Planets, and found that in addition to the usual (cryptic, jargon-full) "Abstract" it has a "Plain Language Summary" (that I actually understand). Why don't all scientific papers include a Plain Language Summary ? 🧪

have you heard about the fish that forgot its migration? herring used to feed in northern Norway and migrate south (>1000km) to spawn a few years ago they abruptly stopped doing that authors think older adults were overfished & didn't "teach" younger fish to migrate! doi.org/10.1038/s415...
