More blue tit research in our sister journal Oikos 🪶 #ornithology

The Ecology & Behaviour conference is still looking for a new French organizing team for a future edition. An inclusive, international & free conference run by early-career researchers, let’s keep it alive! 👉 Get in touch with us and check the website: ecobhvr2025.sciencesconf.org

Our paper is Editor's Choice for the February Issue of @oikosjournal.bsky.social 🐣🐤🐥🎉 Using 10 years of data on great & blue tits, we show paler yellow plumage might be linked to urban-specific selection patterns. OA: doi.org/10.1002/oik.... Data & code & supp. : doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

L’amendement-bâillon visant à priver les associations lanceuses d’alerte, comme L214, de ressources financières va être soumis au vote dans les prochains jours à l’Assemblée nationale. @partisocialiste.bsky.social, @lfi.bsky.social et @lesecologistes.fr ➡️ mobilisez-vous! Interpellez ces partis 👇

Our paper getting a nod from @carlbergstrom.com for best-practice on our data viz approach! 👀🔥 Glad the efforts on building these graphs are recognizd 🕺
