Happy to present new paper on year-round #bird and #insects #Migration Vogelwarte_Science #swissbirdradar mdpi.com/2072-4292/13/9…

This is quite a special paper for me as it combines elements from my MSc in #hydrology, my PhD in #geostat and my passion for finding migrant #birds on the ground! doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2… published in Royal Society Publishing in #openaccess 👇Check the thread below👇 1/3 Background

How many birds take off, land or are in the air over the year? When and where are they moving through Europe? This paper by Raphaël Nussbaumer within BiodivERsA3-funded @globam_net answers these questions and sets the basis for a lot of spin-off research!

huge thanks to Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center UBC Oceans (also found at ubcoceans.bsky.social) Acadia University @eccc_news BirdLife Marine for making this research possible, field techs Gill Holmes ✨, and all collaborators @S_Lisovski Autumn-Lynn Harrison @MarkMalloryLab Marie Auger-Méthé Willow English Avery Nagy-MacArthur !🙌

Great rejoicing at retrapping our THIRD Red-capped Robin Chat with a #geolocator, 1 of 15 deployed last year! 20% recovery rate so far & 2+ months left to trap more. Sent the first ones back last week to Vogelwarte_Science for downloading of #data. Very excited to hear results!

Out today in Royal Society Publishing, our collaborative effort to understand how migratory land birds accomplish long-distance sea-crossing. Spoiler: They depend on wind AND uplift. Safi_Lab @safilabmpi MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Great to learn about biologging from different fields at #BLS7Hawaii this week! In my talk I share new method integrating atmospheric pressure to track light-level #geolocators more accurately Felix Liechti Mathieu Gravey vogelwarte.ch A Rocha Kenya

🇺🇦 1⃣ We have been working with Ukrainian colleagues in Polesia since 2019. We are appalled by the violent invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops and stand in full support of our Ukrainian friends. Thread 👇

We are seeking to fill a 3-y PostDoc position at Vogelwarte_Science to analyse insects and bird movements using #radar. Join our international collaboration with Silke Bauer, Judy Shamoun-Baranes Felix Liechti Susanne Åkesson Jason Chapman & others. Please RT. 👉my.jobalino.ch/de/jobpreview/…

Gone with the wind: How do small birds migrate to the wintering grounds? A new method published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution can accurately estimate their most likely route. geo.uzh.ch/en/events/feat… #birdmigration #hopooe #bayesianinference #machinelearning #ornithology

Using wet activity & light data from #geolocators, our new #ArcticTern paper shows individual terns use varied migration strategies🌎Larger terns used more direct routes, and 1 individual even stopped on land for 8 days!🏖️ Read more here😎: link.springer.com/article/10.100… Marie Auger-Méthé

#weather #radar can be an immensely useful tool in #biodiversity monitoring. With the right #data infrastructure. See our piece in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society American Meteorological Society Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) @globam_net ENRAM

Update: Michiel Lathouwers has earned himself a “bakske Karmeliet”. No GPS logger, but an activity logger containing two years of flight activity, pressure, temperature and light data!! Vogelwarte_Science

What an amazing day 1 of #irac2022 talks about bats, birds, insects, AI, conservation, phenology, biodiversity, the interdisciplinary field of #radar #aerorcology @globam_net Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership)
