We are already in October, but some of our #WhiteStork fledglings are still reluctant to cross the Straits! Although named after a Portuguese island, Berlenga - unlike many famous Portuguese sailors - does not seem to be at the forefront of European overseas exploration!

Very happy to share our new paper in @PNASNews on how #GriffonVultures change their movement and social behaviour with age: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24… It seems that old griffons are much like old humans: they like to stay at home, are set in their routines and are a bit antisocial.

We used a 15-year GPS-tracking dataset, which represents a huge effort of many different people over the years, and without whom this study would not be possible.

We tracked the same individuals for up to 12 nearly consecutive years, to show that some of the changes we found are due to individuals shifting their behaviour as they get old, and not due to the selective disappearance of some individuals from the population. #ornithology

Can we do better? Here I discuss some of the pro and cons of expanding authorship to local data collectors: link.springer.com/article/10…

I'm looking for a postdoc who wants to apply for an upcoming scholarship to come to Uppsala and join my research group for 2 yrs. The project is on hybrid flycatchers and diet-microbiome associations 🐦 Project is already ready, samples have been collected + more this spring.

Another case of poisoning killing two breeding Eurasian Griffons. Very bad news for the small and critically endangered breeding population in Israel @BirdLifeIsrael @SPNI @4Vultures @BirdLife_News

בנחלים ערוגות וחולד נמצאו שני נשרים מתים מהרעלה. חדשות עצובות במיוחד בתקופת הקינון. צוותים של רשות הטבע סורקים מחשש להמצאות פגרים נוספים. הנשרים היו ממושדרים ואותרו לאחר שהפקחים זיהו שאינם בתנועה. אחד הפרטים בקע במדגרה של גן החיות התנכי. 190 נשרים נותרו בטבע 📷 רשות הטבע והגנים

As an ecologist, I have done a lot of fieldwork (and still do it). Having a safe environment against sexual harassment is key to reducing the gender gap and preventing women from stopping fieldwork. cell.com/trends/ecology-evol…
