Save the date! The next BES Movement Ecology SIG annual meeting is taking place on the 2nd-3rd of September 2025 in Norwich. More details to come in the new year! 🌍🧪👩‍🔬 @britishecolsoc.bsky.social

I'll talk about this more next week but can't resist finishing my Friday with this update Our paper is online now in early view! Sara Gomez, Luca Börger & I led a fantastic team of researchers in this review: Understanding and predicting animal movements and distributions in the Anthropocene

Uncovering Alpine swift foraging behaviour using GPS tracking & DNA metabarcoding! For the first time we describe Alpine swift foraging movements and what factors impact foraging trips, short-term range area size, & the prey diversity fed to nestlings #BOU2025 #ornithology 1/7

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

I have created my first starter pack!!!! It focuses on movement ecology as a scientific discipline. If we reach 150 members I will create Movement Ecology II. go.bsky.app/F4ZLXcx

A superb #ornithology starter pack is here: go.bsky.app/CB8biDW An easy way to build a like-minded community. Made by @ibisjournal.bsky.social and @jamiedunning.bsky.social 👏 It contains relevant accounts to follow & also check out the Ornithology feed for 🐦posts!
