Reposition of #sample #metadata has the potential to boost scientific impact in #biology.

Right now @natureportfolio.bsky.social: nature.com/articles/d41...

Our initiative was first introduced in @ibisjournal.bsky.social along with the @avisamplenet.bsky.social metadata repository.

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers.

Take a look—the numbers are staggering. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social

US science after a year of Trump: what has been lost and what remains

A series of graphics reveals how the Trump administration has sought historic cuts to science and the research workforce.

A data collection mission that began in 2012 is finally released as AVONICHE.

Designed as a companion to AVONET bird trait database and updated to Avilist taxonomy, it’s an Open Access dataset providing updated diets and a detailed breakdown of foraging behaviours used by all bird species.

🪶🌐

Ferran Sayol @ferransayol.bsky.social · 27d

New paper out! 🐦📊

We realease AVONICHE, a global dataset with detailed information on the proportional use of 32 foraging niches, combining dietary categories with the behaviours and substrates used to access resources.

Openly access the paper and data in GEB: doi.org/10.1111/geb....

🚨 Internship Alert 🚨

Join us for research weaving of #birdmigration #ecology in Aug & Sep 2025. #ornithology

📍 Location: Brno, hosted by @czechacademy.bsky.social
💼 Funded: #EUFLYNET (www.euflynet.eu/stsms)
🔑 Required: R
🎯 Acquired: Systematic mapping

If interested, 📩 CV & 300-word motivation📝

Research weaving integrates systematic and bibliometric mapping tools such as citation networks and the mapping of the geographic distributions of research activities. This figure was adopted from Nakagawa et al. 2018 TREE.

Geographic distribution of affiliations reported in studies on topics associated with sexual selection. This is an example of the product the intern will work on using the data from screening of studies in avian migration ecology. Figure adopted from Pollo et al. 2014 Biological Reviews.
