„Timekeeping in hole-nesting birds under extreme light conditions” is the title of the plenary by Barbara Tomotani @babimt.bsky.social. A fitting topic for Olomouc, where the astronomical clock has kept time since medieval days. The avian clock, though, likely resembles the sundial more closely.

The breeding season in our nestbox sites is in full swing! The pied flycatchers arrived last couple of weeks and started their breeding season. Meanwhile in most boxes with blue tits, great tits and nuthatches they are already at the incubation or chick stage. #breedingseason25

New position open! 🚨 We have a PhD position on avian reproductive microbiome available at the department. Find more information in the post from @melissahrowe.bsky.social or here nioo.knaw.nl/nl/vacatures... Deadline 29th of June.

new preprint: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/view/9055 Code used in research is key to the methods and scientific output and we should ensure it’s not just "available" but easy to verify and build on. We present a practical tool to code review for scientists 🧪 work with @animalecol-nioo.bsky.social

Take a look at a short overview of past HNB meetings and a group photo from the 5th conference, which celebrated the 50th season in Vlieland. Thanks to @mevisser.bsky.social for sharing this! Join us in Olomouc to celebrate the 53rd season in Dlouhá Loučka and the 29th in Velký Kosíř! #ornithology

Last year I posted too early and had to retract my post 🫣, but now that all @niooknaw.bsky.social @animalecol-nioo.bsky.social nest boxes on #Vlieland have been checked, we know for sure that it is - yet again - a very early start of the breeding season! @uniexecec.bsky.social @sevans.bsky.social

What better way to spend a cold and wet winter day than with beech nut sampling?! In four montly monotoring round this winter we sampled 35 beech trees in Nationaal Park de Hoge Veluwe. For each tree we sampled 8 plots per round and after sampling 1120 plots today we finished up our fieldwork 🥳(1/3)
