Spectacular migration for the UK white storks this year! This stork, born at Knepp this year, is offspring of flightless parents and migrated around the Alps following a Southeastern migration route @ueaceec.bsky.social @ueaenv.bsky.social

Had a great time at CEEC Rebellion 2025 😊 @ueaceec.bsky.social @biouea.bsky.social Thank you so much to the organisers for an exceptional conference. Photo credit: @drgdavidson.bsky.social

CEEC Rebellion has kicked off!! 1.5 days of exciting talks and plenary sessions!! @ueaceec.bsky.social @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social @aldinafranco.bsky.social

The CEEC Rebellion Conference is coming soon! Join us on the 19th & 20th March at ZICER 2.03 for an excellent opportunity to learn about and discuss the latest research in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation at UEA.

PhD alert! Come work with me, @deonroos.bsky.social and Lorraine Scott to develop & apply geoprofiling to identify breeding sites for mobile species of conservation importance, using citizen-science data & field surveys in a #trait based approach. Deadline 19 Feb! 🌍 www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

New paper published today in Movement Ecology! We show North American birds that migrate in flocks have greater long-term non-breeding range shifts, particularly if flocks are mixed-age. We link this to social learning in novel migration route development. rdcu.be/d57Mw 1/10 #ornithology

New paper looking at avian migration in flocks and how it influences their non-breeding range shifts. See thread. @ueaceec.bsky.social

📢PhD opportunity: Establishing past biodiversity baselines to guide UK wetland & freshwater nature recovery. The research will reconstruct past wetland biodiversity baselines for the Somerset Levels to understand change through time for conservation planning. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

We're offering a PhD place on Rewilding! This PhD will study the wilder grazing at Purbeck Heaths ‘Super National Nature Reserve’, which is shifting towards the restoration of natural processes to create a more dynamic, complex landscape www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

A crisp morning & our final field data collection before Xmas break. We fit 330 great tits & blue tits with RFID tags + sighted 66 resident birds from last year. Ready to test the birds’ gut microbiomes and learning skills in the wild in Jan. Well done team! @biouea.bsky.social @ueaceec.bsky.social

Our latest paper, where we showed how a lactobacillus gut microbe can benefit wild birds, was featured in @forbes.com. Thanks for the article @grrlscientist.bsky.social. @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social @biouea.bsky.social @ucc.bsky.social @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Call out to UK upland entomologists - please do get in contact

Amazing migration of one of the UK white storks. It migrated in December!! and crossed from Plymouth to France, taking app 1h40min. @ueaceec.bsky.social

Do you have knowledge or expertise in taxonomic groups found in the UK’s uplands? I’m looking for naturalists to contribute to autecological analysis as part of a #biodiversity audit assessing impacts of land-use change across eight of northern England’s protected landscapes 1/4

One month and one week left to apply to this exciting fully funded PhD project based at UEA, @ueaceec.bsky.social please share www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships...

!PhD opportunity! We are recruiting a student to use biotelemetry and modelling to understand bycatch in Europe's most endangered seabird, the Balearic shearwater. If you are interested come to our online Q&A session on 12th Dec. See advert below!

I'm very excited that another of my PhD chapters is published today #OpenAccess in @britishecolsoc.bsky.social People and Nature! We investigate the links between #Birdsongs, #vineyard #soundscapes and #Wellbeing 🐦🍇🎶 🔗https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pan3.10721 #ornithology

To round off #CEEC24 Session 1b, we have a talk from George West on Genetic Rescue: Are outbred or inbred rescuers better?

Next up is Alice Stuart's talk discussing their work on the social acceptability of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). #CEEC24

To kick off Session 1b at #CEEC24 we have a talk from Claire Buchan: Spatial and temporal variation in the characteristics of natural soundscapes.

Finishing off Session 1a of #CEEC24 is Jessica Peers with her talk: Novel gene pseudogenization in a species with long-term low Ne, the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus).

Next up is Liliana Fischer with her talk: Individual vs. Social Influences - What determines longevity in social insects?

#CEEC24 starts off with our first plenary talk from Jim Labisko: Right place, right time, and a little bit of luck: an unorthodox route into academia and working with tropical amphibians.

The back-from-hibernation #CEEC24 programme is live: 2 days of talks, posters and quizzery. Join us in person from 9.00am Thursday 07/03 to late on Friday at the Scholars lounge. Please note the new venue: Sportspark 1.27 or follow here on Bluesky
