If you're looking for a #PhD in #ornithology, look no further! Great project (with an amazing supervisor) on how extreme heat events influence bird behaviour and distribution, and how these responses are linked to the ecological traits and life histories of each species. 🧪🌍 #ecology

In our new paper, we provide a tool (datasets, model and codes) to help identify vulture feeding hotspots, supporting efforts to combat scavenger poisoning. #ornithology #RaptorResearch 🧪🌍 @jappliedecology.bsky.social Read it here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In our new paper, we show that using ropes as nesting material (particularly baler twine) cause entanglement and mortality #WhiteStork nestlings. It's time to rethink our agricultural practices and materials! @inescatry.bsky.social @aldinafranco.bsky.social #ornithology #ecology #conservation 🧪

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 Excited to share our new review in @royalsocietypublishing.org Proceedings B! 🎉 We synthesize research on social factors influencing animal migration and offer guidelines for future research. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... #OpenAccess #Migration #MovementEcology

Postdoc alert! 🚨 How do young raptors learn to migrate? 2-year postdoc at Uni. Laussane with @enourani.bsky.social is offered to model evolution of learning strategies for behavioral development. Application deadline is mid-June for a start in Jan 2026: career5.successfactors.eu/career?compa...

One bird. 399 pieces of plastic. 55 g. This is not our record.

Delighted to promote this year's African Raptor Leadership Grant - an amazing opportunity for an African National to undertake an MSc on #RaptorResearch. Including on the FitzPatrick Institute's Conservation Biology MSc course. #Ornithology 🪶 raptorresearchfoundation.org/grants-award...

The #WhiteStork was once an iconic symbol of bird migration, but now most Iberian storks stopped migrating. How did we go from a fully migratory population to a nearly fully resident one in ~40 years? besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #ornithology #ecology🌍🧪

In the 1990s, >80% of Portuguese white storks were winter migrants. Thirty years on, a drastic shift in behavior means most individuals are now residents. Our new paper @animalecology.bsky.social combines census data, GPS tracking, and genomics to understand the loss of migratory behavior in birds:

In Portugal, it's been raining almost continously for the past few weeks - very unusual for this time of the year! And as our poor #WhiteStorks are battling the storms, we are struggling to reach their nests without snorkels and flippers! :)

📣PhD opportunity! We are looking for a candidate to develop a project on the spatial ecology of #waterbirds using rice fields. Check for the complete details below, and get in touch until the 21st of March! drive.google.com/file/d/1R8MI... #ornithology #movement #tracking #connectivity

The breeding season of #WhiteStorks has already begun, so it's time for the seasonal migration of our team to Southern Portugal to study these amazing birds!

In collaboration with my friend @juanma-pg.bsky.social we have just published this article about some worrying trends we have observed in the marking of animals with GPS .... 1/n link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Are you checking you're GPS data for spoofing? Did you know that human conflicts result in GPS jamming around the world? New paper in @naturecomms.bsky.social : rdcu.be/d781b @aksulehikoinen.bsky.social, @annechrismonnet.bsky.social, @rytikerttunen.bsky.social Frédéric Jiguet and many more
