[Please RT] Waders can be tough cookies to photograph while incubating, and even a not so discreet bird like this black-tailed godwit can blend in! Would you like to joing the project? That's your chance! #shorebird #ornithology #camouflage

Seewiesen - a biotope for science! Our Institute’s Seewiesen location is featured in an exclusive TV portrait (in German) 🤩: ardmediathek.de/video/natur-ex…

#ruffs eggs have been showing an increase in aberrant egg color this year across multiple field sites - has any of the #wader researchers noticed such a trend? #eggblue 😁

Baltic Dunlin last night. Female entering her nest about to hatch. Only few of them left in #BothianBay #BalticSea

#Southerndunlin chicks are the cutest 6 gram fluff balls! And their parents are on top of their task 🥹 The mother is always controlling if we put the rings well enough and going to brood the chicks right after we're done! Video thanks to Simon_vandepitte

wader chicks are just objectively ✨ adorable ✨ these little guys make long field seasons survivable #Ruffs #Southerndunlin #Curlew It's also really nice to have a #greenshank nest in your garden in #BayofBothnia

Seewiesen, near Starnberg, is one of our two Institute locations and home to most of our bird research. Surrounded by nature, we think this is perhaps the most beautiful Max Planck campus there is. What do you think? Max Planck Society

So excited to share our new preprint! 🎉 In this project, we're revisiting enhancer modularity with quantitative approaches in Drosophila 🪰🧬 Summary in the thread below. ⬇️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Still overwhelmed and blushing from all the feathers and flowers thrown my way last night. What an honour to be the first recipient of such a wonderful award by the BOU (BOU 👩🏻‍🏫👨🏿‍🏫🧕🏽👳🏽‍♂️ 🌈), recognising research, but also community contributions in the broadest possible sense. 1/4

Last week, we organized the Wader Study conference in #Montpellier and it was AMAZING ! 🤩 Thank you to all our helpers and every participant who made this conference a real scientific and human success ! 🥳 Office français de la biodiversité LPO France #shorebirds #waders #birders #ornithology

44 scientists have issued a stark warning about the threat of a major ocean circulation change, causing a detrimental disruption of climate patterns lasting for centuries to come. Check out this short video explaining what this is all about.
