NEW PAPER: bi-axial orientation may underpin recent migratory responses in blackcaps to rapid anthropic environmental alteration. ➡️ vist.ly/3fvpm Joe Wynn @GenMig Kira Delmore Institute of Avian Research 'Vogelwarte Helgoland' Benjamin Van Doren Guillermo Fandos #ornithology #birds #migration #ringing #navigation

Together with illustrator Charlotte Hintzmann (charlotte-hintzmann.de), we developed an illustration project to increase the visibility of the female primary investigators of our SFB. Today we present the first #womeninscience: Miriam Liedvogel. Entire post at insta: SFB 1372

Very happy to have passed my viva on Thursday!! Thanks so much to Sandra @CommonTerns and Tim Prof Tim Coulson for assessing me, as well as the immeasurable support & guidance from @Ben_Sheldon_EGI Ella Cole Josh Firth and the whole group Wytham Tit Study EGI_Oxford over the years🌳

Combining #molecular methods and #tracking information, Robert E. Rollins presented his results on the characterization of haemosporidian infections across a migratory devide in the Eurasian Blackcap. #ornithology

Sandra Bouwhuis reported about how avian influenza affected the @CommonTerns in Wilhelmshaven. Furthermore, she shared insights into the development of #antibodies in two #tern species and how these could (hopefully) protect these tern species during possible future outbreaks.

Miriam Liedvogel gave insights into her research on the #Migration of blackcaps. Migratory behaviour is genetically inherited and she investigated the migratory devide that occurs within Europe and how it changes over time. #ornithology

Very happy to announce that the first paper of my PhD is finally out in Journal of Animal Ecology!😍🥳 "Inbreeding accelerates reproductive senescence, but not survival senescence, in a precocial bird" Thanks to Institute of Avian Research 'Vogelwarte Helgoland' @CoralineBcht @B_Tschirren Ido Pen besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Neat study showing negative impact of inbreeding on reproductive senescence 👇

New research shows that inbreeding depression increases with age for fecundity, but not for viability, in Japanese quail, which offers new insights into how inbreeding depression interacts with senescence in heterogeneous populations🗻 buff.ly/40ktnD2 Institute of Avian Research 'Vogelwarte Helgoland' Matteo Beccardi

I am so happy to see this work finally out! By compiling existing data we were able to quantify bird/tick species interactions for migratory birds across the Western Palearctic flyways. Thank you so much to Lars Burnus Joe Wynn and @GenMig 😍🎉 nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

My first first-author publication, yippie! Thanks to everyone involved for making it possible! 🥳🥳🥳

Delighted to hear from Institute of Avian Research 'Vogelwarte Helgoland' that my #Spoonbill was ringed as chick on 01.06.2018 at Mellum (island) Lower Saxony - 2221km from where I saw it in #RiaFormosa, #Portugal.
