The reed warbler field season is in full swing! 🪺🌾🇫🇮

Where do Finnish reed warblers come from? 🪺🌾 Find out more about Nora Bergman's work on our latest blog post! www.informedbirds.com/blog/Blog%20...

Our recent short communication in JAB:

New paper: in great tits, male nestlings grow bigger and show stronger immune defenses than females, showing fast growth doesn’t compromise immunity, likely thanks to priority access to food from parents. ➡️ vist.ly/4u2yv #ornithology #birds #ecoimmunology #dimorphism #development 🪶

A throwback to the EUFLYNET COST Action meeting in Vienna at the end of February. Excited to be part of this fantastic network of bird migration scientists and conservationists working across the European–African migratory flyway. www.euflynet.eu

News from the long-term study population of Siberian jays in Swedish Lapland

Thrilled to share my very first paper with you, now out in @avianbiology.bsky.social! We investigated whether innate immune function varies during moult in adult & juvenile blackbirds (undergoing complete or partial moult).

In one of those days where purpose seems hard to find, nice to read: "why does the world still need behavioural ecologists?" A reminder of how exciting it is to see the world from the eyes of a behavioural ecologist. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Contributed to #theBOUblog to share my experiences at the #EOU2025 in Wales this summer!

Congratulations to Enya Strahler for submitting the winning design for the Evolution 2026 Conference logo! www.evolutionmeetings.org/2026-logo.html

How great was #EOU2025 in Bangor, Wales?! So delighted to have presented my Master’s thesis project on tracing the geographic origins of behavioural variation in Common Reed Warblers using genomic data. Huge thanks to @bou.org.uk and @dornitholges.bsky.social for helping make this possible!
