#EOU2025 You are very welcome to join me during my talk to think about #urbanisation, #migration and #evolution. PS - If the science isn't of your interest, I promise cute pictures of owls... PPS - If you can't attend the talk but are interested in the project, follow us on Insta @migralight

#EOU2025 Come and join us for the symposium on the importance of vagrancy in ecology and evolution. Lots of great results in the talks from the different speakers! LR4 - Friday 22 - 10:30 @alexanderlees.bsky.social @joewynnbirds.bsky.social #ornithology @vogelwarte.bsky.social

If you are an early career researcher and at #EOU2025 come to the @nordicoikos.bsky.social booth and learn all about our @avianbiology.bsky.social review award. 🪶🏆 #birds #ornithology www.avianbiology.org/authors/jab-...

📌 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!

Such an interesting session. Pity I couldn't make it…

#EOU2025 Come and join us for the symposium on #bird #migration and #ALAN, aiming to discuss fundamental research and policy. LR3 - Tuesday 19 - 10:30h @baptischmi.bsky.social @carburt.bsky.social @jlyr.bsky.social @vogelwarte.bsky.social #ornithology #aeroecology #movementecology #lightpollution

All set for the #EOU2025 ! Come and talk to us about our journals and our society (and of course pick up some free swag, because we don’t plan to take any back home!). @oikosjournal.bsky.social @wildlifebiology.bsky.social @nordicoikos.bsky.social @ecography.bsky.social

🎉New preprint! "TADA! Simple guidelines to improve code sharing" tinyurl.com/8rmnwjrk We present simple guidelines to help researchers of all coding levels improve the transparency and reproducibility of their analytical code, TADA! Transferable, Accessible, Documented, Annotated.

Last paper from my PhD at #EcolLett: dx.doi.org/10.1111/ele.... Using long-term data from European tit populations, we test three hypotheses to determine how urbanization affects phenotypic variation at different population levels. #UrbanTitCollab #DiverCity #SPIBirds

Big thanks to my exemplary #UrbanTit collaborators. It has been such a pleasure! @annecharmantier.bsky.social @denisreale.bsky.social @clairebranston.bsky.social @pcapi.bsky.social @dingemanselab.bsky.social @senarjc.bsky.social & others not on BlueSky. Also @spibirds.bsky.social 🙏

El miércoles por la noche estuvimos socios de ANSAR acompañando a @pcapi.bsky.social y aprendiendo más sobre el proyecto migralight. Seguiremos aprendiendo y colaborando en su proyecto mientras trabajamos con las cajas que el grupo de ornitología de Ansar hemos instalado en el Parque Labordeta.

Desde el grupo de ornitología de la Asociación Naturalista de Aragón (ANSAR) hemos comenzado esta temporada con ilusión el proyecto “Ansar Autillo” con la instalación de diversas cajas nido para esta especie en Zaragoza. www.ansararagon.com/nace-el-proy...

This week has been a bit mad and my tinnitus is flaring up BUT did get a fun little review accepted today by J Avian Biology on migratory microbiomes with the talented @pcapi.bsky.social, so I'm going to the pub to have a celebratory pint. More on the review when it comes out!

Happy to co-organise a symposium on migratory birds and artificial light at night: from research to policy. #ornithology #aeroecology submit 👆🏽your abstract before March 15 😀 #eou2025

Where are all the field studies? This ⬇️ important but rather depressing paper describes how conducting, & crucially initiating, field studies is becoming harder & rarer. A short 🧵 (and a call for more fieldwork) www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Save ecology field studies from extinction! Even though they are less productive, they are vital for generating ideas and fine-tuning intuitions. 🌐🪶🧪
