New publication: Migrating #shorebird killed by #raptor at 3000 m above ground as revealed by high-resolution tracking, by Bart Nolet and others. #migrationstrategy #flightaltitude #predation #avianmigration #greyplover #peregrinefalcon doi.org/10.1002/ecy.44…





Where do migratory seabirds go? Come to UEA School of Environmental Sciences for a PhD studying the connectivity and conservation of seabird marine flyways, with a great supervisory and collaboration team Aldina Franco Tammy Davies BirdLife Marine Peter Miller More info here: aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/S…

News from down under! Our latest study in Current Biology uses weather radar to uncover Australia’s unique bird migration patterns—smaller in scale but high variable in timing, direction, and magnitude. Link: cell.com/current-biolog…. #ornithology #BirdMigration #Australia


AVOTREX is out: an open-access companion to AVONET containing morphological traits for ~600 extinct bird species and a phylogeny grafting these taxa onto the global bird tree to support future research on Anthropogenic extinctions. Hat-tip to many co-authors; led by Ferran Sayol

AVOTREX: A global dataset of extinct birds and their traits. 🦤🌍 The dataset includes 610 extinct birds from last 130k years. This dataset includes details on species traits, mirroring the morphological data available for extant species in AVONET (1/8) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…

So excited to have our paper “Spread of yellow-bill-color alleles favored by selection in the long-tailed finch hybrid system” out now in Current Biology ! Check it out: tinyurl.com/billcolor


My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/art…
