📌 I really enjoyed @pablosalmon.bsky.social’s talk at #EOU2025! 🐦
Exploring how #mitochondria may shape avian #migration — lessons from Eurasian #blackbirds with different strategies.
Great insights into the energetic basis of life-history strategies!

At #EOU2025 @eounion.bsky.social conference next week, we'll show new evidence implicating forestry in declines of British Marsh Tits during the era of woodland conversion in 1950/60s-1980s.
This was period of steepest decline in Marsh Tits. Why? What was going on back then? #ornithology 1/5

In this study, Cortés-Manzaneque et al. provide strong evidence that prenatal signals of predation risk prepare chicks to cope with predators during their postnatal development, based on findings from a field experiment on the yellow-legged gull.

#RSOS in @newscientist.com | The Neophobia Hypothesis: nest decoration in birds may reduce predation by corvids: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Puzzlingly, many birds add human-made material to their nests with no obvious function – now there is evidence that these home improvements might ward off predators
