Nests are fundamental across animals. Some birds decorate them with fresh, often aromatic plant material (AKA Green Nest Material or GNM) Why do they do this? Despite decades of study, we still don’t know the overall adaptive significance or generality of this behavior 📄 doi.org/10.32942/X2X...

📢🚨Please share! We’re hiring! 📢🚨Have a strong interests in wildlife ecology and gut microbiome bioinformatics? 3 year Senior Research Associate for NERC Pushing the Frontiers grant. Apply here: vacancies.uea.ac.uk/vacancies/18.... Informal enquiries welcome! drgldavidson.github.io/ACMEresearch

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB! We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB! 🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

PhD position available to study the migration ecology and year-round demography of blackpoll warblers.

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB! 🔍 Our study checked #datasharing and #codesharing policies in 275 #ecology #evolution journals. Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting #reproducibility. #OpenScience 🔗 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

🚨 PhD alert 🚨 We are looking for a highly motivated student to use 🧬 genomics 🧬 and 🛰️ bio-logging 🛰️ approaches to disentangle cultural and genetic contributions to seabird migration 🐣 Think this is you, or someone you know? Then come to our Q&A session at on 29/09 and check out the ad below!

Ready for a fascinating symposium about bird shape and size in a changing world? Meet us in Room MALT today at 10.30! @alecorr-castro.bsky.social #ornithology #EOU2025 @eounion.bsky.social

Fascinating talk by @bertillemohring.bsky.social on the life history and senescence strategies of two albatrosses! #EOU2025 @eounion.bsky.social #ornithology

Fantastic presentation by @elinamantyla.bsky.social on the changes in isotopes in Skuas feathers over 50 years!! #EOU2025 @eounion.bsky.social #ornithology

Excellent talk from @carladreon.bsky.social @vogelwarte.bsky.social in the life history & development #ornithology plenary @eounion.bsky.social evidencing lay date plasticity in alpine swifts with warming temperatures - a heritable adaptation that boosts individual reproductive success. #EOU2025

Fantastic presentation by @carladreon.bsky.social on the laying date of #AlpineSwifts! Well done *Proud supervisor* #EOU2025 @eounion.bsky.social #ornithology

Fantastic plenary talk by @anticac.bsky.social about the importance of open science in bird (and all) research. Publication bias, FAIR data and open code #EOU2025 @sortee.bsky.social #ornithology

📌 I really enjoyed @pablosalmon.bsky.social’s talk at #EOU2025! 🐦 Exploring how #mitochondria may shape avian #migration — lessons from Eurasian #blackbirds with different strategies. Great insights into the energetic basis of life-history strategies!

Prof Will Creswell kicks off #EOU2025 with a fantastic plenary on the challenges of avian migration - for birds and for scientists! They also showcased the APLORI research institute, which has made huge successes in training the next generation of ornithologists in Nigeria

Brilliant plenary by Will Cresswell about migratory birds where they spend more time during the year... Africa!
