The RSPB is looking for surveyors to census the UK’s largest Storm Petrel colony on Mousa, Shetland. We need 2-4 volunteers who are comfortable working and camping in a remote location with limited facilities, to help complete playback surveys during mid-July 2026. 🪺🏝️🏕️

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this female peregrine falcon shake The way she slowly grows in to a falcorb is mesmerizing 🫨 This video is NOT in slow motion! Peregrine Falcon 📷🌿🪶

Finally got to witness a big gathering of Bramblings! Here around 15000! Before the video i saw them as a flow of 50 per second, for 5 minutes. Turn on sound!

To evaluate the impact of the influenza virus (HPAIV) in the Peregrine Falcon, Integrated Population Modelling was used. The analyses revealed drastic declines in adult survival, suggesting a shift in HPAIV dynamics compared to the previous epizootics. Read more: doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Dear colleagues, we are searching for candidates to fill a Full W3 Professorship for Plant #Ecology at the University of Regensburg, Germany. For details, see www.nature.com/naturecareer... 🌐 🌎 #AcademicJobs

Excited to announce our courses for #MovementEcology.🤗 This year we will be in #Africa @mpalarc.bsky.social at Mpala Research Centre. Starting with a basic R course designed for #AfricanResearchers, followed by a two-week international Animove workshop. animove.org/basic-r-cour... Please share 👍

Our latest paper on Golden Eagle research in Scotland, using DNA from moulted feathers to assess apparent survival in territorial adults. As ever, data collection from Scottish Raptor Study Group @scottishraptorsg.bsky.social was vital. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #RaptorResearch

NEW PAPER in #ornithology compares the responses of 200 vertebrate populations to climate change, and finds that increasing temperatures affect population growth via changes in phenology, but not morphology: buff.ly/IT66GOK

Female scientists have to wait longer for their articles to be reviewed than their male colleagues. An analysis of 36.5 million papers in the life sciences shows that for females it took 115 days to reach a decision, compared to 101 days for men journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... @plosbiology.org

Using passive acoustic monitoring, our team and our parners in Africa found that species richness and occurence probability is hihgher in grazing exclusion - a measure to restore degraded habitats - compared to control sites. Read more here doi.org/10.1002/eap....

A PhD chapter that I'm very proud of is finally out in @ecol-evol.bsky.social!🦉 Using nestbox cameras from 4 countries, we explored interactive effects of habitat quality &weather on provisioning &prey composition 🪱🪲🐀in Little Owls -a rapidly declining farmland raptor. #RaptorResearch #Ornithology

Our new paper (with @biotay.bsky.social) is out and on the cover story of @currentbiology.bsky.social !!!! Veronika, a Carinthian mountain cow flexibly uses a “multi-purpose tool” to scratch herself. A video and more information will follow in the comments. www.cell.com/current-biol...

🚨 PhD offer (please share) Fascinated by bird migration and movement ecology? 🦜🌍 Join us at @vogelwarte.bsky.social to study annual cycle energetics with multi-sensor loggers in multiple species Deadline: 20 Feb 2026 Starting: June 2026 Supervision: Martins Briedis & me Info: tinyurl.com/2dbv9nzh

See our last paper in Fuctional Ecology: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/JB8CFI...

Happy to share our new paper published in @cp-iscience.bsky.social We deployed 300+ multi-sensor loggers across 17 species to investigate how different species adapt their flight strategies when crossing deserts and marine areas during migration. tinyurl.com/2c8y8xvf #ornithology #birds

I believe we can all learn a lot from this. It‘s not just size or strength that matters… ✊

Hier zur Einordnung dieser Nachricht die globalen Daten der letzten 2024 Jahre.

🐧🧊 Incredible underwater footage of penguin life, shot from the first person of one of them. 🇺🇦 This beauty was captured thanks to Ukrainian scientists from the Vernadsky Station in Antarctica, who put a GPS tracker and a tiny camera on the bird.

😀

A photo from a Swedish bird news feed - an ID puzzle. Is this a partially leucistic Siberian Tit? Or a Willow Tit with some form of erythrism? Any thoughts @richardkbroughton.bsky.social?

House Martins are declining in Switzerland. To help them, our team conducted a study and recommend installing artificial nests withing 500m of occupied sites and using playback of conspecific vocalizations. doi.org/10.1111/csp2...

This is so outrageous that there are hardly any words to describe the disgrace. The EU marks a low moment for citizens' health, for science, for democracy, for biodiversity, and for farmers. Congratulations for those who've just shown us who's the real boss in this puppet theatre.

Very, very cool study looking at the effect of local population density on vocal individuality in Little Owls from my colleagues that is finally out! #Ornithology #RaptorResearch
