An excellent PhD opportunity - at a great place - with a great system .....and with a great group! Should be fun....as well as very scientifically rewarding😀

Translocations and high-resolution tracking show that field margins improve connectivity and corridor functionality in agricultural landscapes... even for habitat generalist birds like bulbuls! 🐦🌎🧪 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/1365...

New paper out now! 🥳📄 Massive shoutout to Sarah Worsley, who did the heavy lifting 💪 – absolute star! 🌟

Check out our new paper led by Gaoyang Yu! Territorial aggression in blue tits is repeatable in both sexes, but females were the fiercer defenders. How does this challenge long-held assumptions about sex roles in territorial behaviour? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧪

NEW PAPER OUT 📃: My first ever paper, which reports on my Master’s research, is now out in Animal Behaviour. Can blue tit nestlings sense their relatedness to their nestmates through smell? 🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #OpenAccess #OpenScience #Preregistration #AcademicSky🧪

The Local Organizing Commitee welcomes behavioral ecologists from across the world and of all career stages to enjoy a five-day meeting rich in top-notch science and ample networking opportunities in Turin (Italy), 20-24 July 2026.

New preprint out on social interactions and the gut microbiome in a cooperative breeding species doi.org/10.32942/X2N...

From egg to hatchling! Swipe through the larval development of the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

🐠💥2 year postdoc in fish sensory ecology!! 💥🐟 If you’re into animal colour, collective behaviour, predator-prey interactions, enjoy behavioural experiments and fieldwork, please apply! Based in Oxford with fieldwork in northwest Thailand (and elsewhere). Please repost! www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DNM294/p...

My student Vanessa Perez is analyzing hundreds of photos of the Barred Fruiteater. If you have some, you can help her fill some geographic gaps. A cool story is unwrapping ⛰️🪶 Please share! #birds #ornithology #speciation #andes

Our review article of methods used to study olfaction of birds during foraging is now published. We found 80 experiments of this topic. In most of the experiments birds were attracted to the odour source, but there were biases, too. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #ornithology

Our new paper, using shotgun metagenomics on the gut microbiome, shows small but interesting longitudinal changes with age in a natural population. 🧵1/5 academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...
