As part of my Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions-funded project at Turun yliopisto - University of Turku UTU AnimalEcology, we conducted last spring a yolk #hormone manipulation experiment in #GreatTit to test the androgen-mediated maternal effect on #parasite susceptibility and accelerated #ageing 🐦🩸🦠🔬⏳

Welcome Margot Turc Brancaz 🎉! She is a French student holding an #Erasmus+ Internship with me at UTU AnimalEcology Turun yliopisto - University of Turku 🇫🇮. Together, we will be studying the #immunological costs of increased #testosterone levels during early development in a wild #GreatTit population 🐣🩸🦠🔬👩🏻‍🔬🧪🧬

It's international day for #WomenAndGirlsInScience 👩🏻‍🔬🧪🧬 Women in Science Day Very grateful to have Karen C. Tse and Margot Turc Brancaz on our team UTU AnimalEcology Turun yliopisto - University of Turku as #MSc Students "A little progress each day adds up to big results" 🤗 #SatyaNani

New #paper out! Go check the first article of my #PhD about the density-dependence in natal dispersal of #thewhitetailedeagle. Carina Nebel @ToniLaaksonen2 …ementecologyjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

This March I started my 3-month PhD stay with the UTU AnimalEcology lab at the Turun yliopisto - University of Turku 🇫🇮. Here, I will conduct a neo-taphonomic analysis on birds consumed by the White-Tailed Eagle 🦅 from the Åland archipelago under the supervision of @ToniLaaksonen2 IPHES-CERCA

If you are at #NordicOikos2024 #Lund 🇸🇪 and you are interested in microbial communities, I will give a talk today on the importance of small-scale habitat in the composition of gut #microbiota in birds (S5 Open session 1, Palaestra B, 14:25) 🐦‍⬛🦠🧬

Poster session at the #NordicOikos2024 🇸🇪 ! If you are interested in the effect of avian maternal hormones on life history traits feel free to stop by my poster and chat with me! 🤗 Very preliminary results of my Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions #testosterone #maternalEffects #parusmajor

New article of environmental DNA PCR assays of geese and swans published. We filtered water and found birds by DNA traces they left behind #eDNA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

This week we are in a group writing retreat in Lammi biological station. Today was an outdoors day in #Evo while checking sites for a course visit later this spring. Old forest, beaver ponds (+ a nest Sari is pointing out) and quite some snow still!

Congratulations Carina Nebel for winning a BioOne 2024 ambassador award! bioonepublishing.org/our-work/2024-…

Our #fieldwork in #Ruissalo Turun yliopisto - University of Turku started last week 🇫🇮! Today the first #GreatTit eggs have appeared (laying date 3 May)! One week later than last year. Something different from the advanced laying dates found in the rest of Europe! 😲 Second field season for my #MSCActions!

After a hard #fieldwork with lots of #mosquitoes 🦟, ticks 🕷️, intense heat 🥵🌡️, rain 🌧️ and thousands of caterpillar webs on our faces 🐛🕸️🤮, we conclude the experiment where we test the susceptibility to #malaria infection in #GreatTits! Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Turun yliopisto - University of Turku 🧵Great team! ⬇️

I will give a talk at #SEBconference on the importance of small-scale habitat on gut #microbiota composition in the pied #flycatcher! If you are interested I will be happy to share our results with you! #Microbiome session organized by Suvi Ruuskanen Charli Davies Silva Uusi-Heikkilä

We had a great day in the countryside, where most of the UTU AnimalEcology team enjoyed a hiking route in #Kurjenrahka National Park and the Turun yliopisto - University of Turku forests where interesting projects can be developed with students on #forest management, ecological succession, habitat selection, etc

Our colleague Dr @Flewrabi has inaugurated the Autumn Seminars in Biology '24 Turun yliopisto - University of Turku. Congrats on your great talk! In UTU AnimalEcology, her research focuses on protecting #waterfowl and wader species from increased hunting pressure from invasive and human-subsidised #mesopredators

Our Ida Penttinen gave today her great talk on Habitat imprinting in breeding site selection of White-tailed eagles in the WTE 2024 congress in Osijek, Croatia. /TL

Our group alumni, Camilla Ekblad, gave a great talk about the effects of white-tailed eagle on eiders in the WTE conference 2024

The group PI @ToniLaaksonen2 also gave a talk in the WTE conference 2024 on a very important topic, the effects of wind turbines on the white-tailed eagle. A study by Carina Nebel

👉@const_georg is a new #PhD student in our group at Turun yliopisto - University of Turku! Her #research will focus on the impact of wind turbines on #wildlife! 💨⚙️⚠️🪶🐾 She presented last week her prior work on food availability and the arrival-laying interval of pied #flycatchers! 🐛🐦🥚 Great talk! 👏

Leticia Duarte is another new #PhD student in UTU AnimalEcology at Turun yliopisto - University of Turku! Welcome! Today, she presented an introduction to #QGIS! Thanks for such an inspiring talk! 🗺️🧭💻 Her #research will focus on the impact of wind turbines on #wildlife, mostly in #wolves and #reindeer! 🐺🦌
