How do your #linguistic, #economic & #gender backgrounds impact your #scientific productivity? @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social & co reveal that being a woman, a non-native English speaker, and from a low-income country is associated with a 70% reduction in productivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n3RLRQ

Unfortunately, one of our GPS-tracked Glossy ibis died in Morocco, close to one highway. Anyone available near Tetouan to collect the GPS logger? Really appreciated! Please contact me by dm.

During the last days, 2 of our tagged Glossy ibis left Iberia to Morocco. "Giganta", the 2nd-year bird on the left, returned to Doñana 3 days after departing. "Fugas", the juvenile on the right, seems more confident to stay. No tagged birds in the UK for now! #ornithology #tracking

PhD position available on climate change, cyanobacterial blooms, and human health @ebdonana.bsky.social We are looking for interested candidates, details attached. Please share.. @sibecol.bsky.social @freshwaterscience.bsky.social @aillimnologia.bsky.social @aslo.org @sil-limnology.bsky.social

The new fieldwork season in the rice fields of the Tagus estuary has just started! Glossy ibis are already gathering in large flocks during the night. #ornithology #tracking #ricefields

Materiais de origem humana usados em ninhos de cegonhas estão a matar as suas crias: Inês Catry, investigadora de CIÊNCIAS, coordenou um estudo onde foram monitorizadas 32 colónias e 568 ninhos de cegonha-branca no Alentejo e Algarve entre 2018 e 2023. 🔗 tinyurl.com/yu42p2ue

In our new paper, we show that using ropes as nesting material (particularly baler twine) cause entanglement and mortality #WhiteStork nestlings. It's time to rethink our agricultural practices and materials! @inescatry.bsky.social @aldinafranco.bsky.social #ornithology #ecology #conservation 🧪

We found that plastic materials left in the environment are carried by white storks to their nests and then cause chick mortality due to entanglements www.theguardian.com/environment/... link to paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @ueaenv.bsky.social @ueaceec.bsky.social

Wonderful news for the people and the birds of Guinea-Bissau and the Bijagós Archipelago - a really unique place in the world! Still, a challenging future ahead! #ornithology #migration #conservation

An excellent PhD thesis. Birds don't understand borders, and the community of storks, ibis, gulls etc in the ricefields of the Tagus/Tajo delta is similar to that of the ricefields in Doñana, with similar conservation issues and agricultural conflicts

Our research on waterbird ecology in the rice fields of the Tagus river basin made the cover of Hydrobiologia. You can read the paper here: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #ornithology #ricefields @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social @jpgranadeiro.bsky.social

Yesterday, João Paulino defended his PhD thesis "Rice fields as alternative habitats for waterbirds: ecological equivalence and mutual cost-benefits for birds and rice growers". A memorable day! Congratulations João! @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social @jpgranadeiro.bsky.social @drandygreen.bsky.social

The 2025 US State of the birds report shows bird population declines continue in all major habitats, e.g. grassland birds have declined by 43% & aridland birds by 41% since 1970. www.rarebirdalert.co.uk/v2/Content/S... www.stateofthebirds.org/2025/

Spring has arrived, and so have the first rollers! Our team is working hard to provide them with the best nesting sites. Follow our journey! #ornithology #conservation

🚨Publication in @globalchangebio.bsky.social by Lameris et al. → Early snowmelt = earlier egg-laying, but only 2 waterfowl arrived earlier. → Over time, most arrived earlier—regardless of snowmelt or laying. → Why? Faster migration: shorter stopovers = earlier arrival. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

So happy to share our paper on how #WhiteStorks are changing their migratory behaviour. Check it here: 👉 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Still a couple of days to get in touch! #PhD #ornithology #MovementEcology #tracking #RiceFields

The European Roller is Critically Endangered in Portugal. We are working hard for this project to make some difference. #ornithology #conservation

📣PhD opportunity! We are looking for a candidate to develop a project on the spatial ecology of #waterbirds using rice fields. Check for the complete details below, and get in touch until the 21st of March! drive.google.com/file/d/1R8MI... #ornithology #movement #tracking #connectivity

We are working to revert the decline of the European Roller (Coracias garrulus) in Portugal, with 156 nest-boxes ready for the upcoming breeding season! How many will be occupied this year? Stay tuned! Find out more about the project: sites.google.com/view/roller-...
