Turns out simulations are the perfect excuse to include my dog as a study individual in a presentation! It was a pleasure to present our latest work on integrating learning into movement models at @isbe2026.bsky.social and discuss it with so many inspiring researchers. Stay tuned for the preprint 🐾

Now @pbecciu.bsky.social is presening first findings of his monumental meta-analysis of natal dispersal patterns across bird species worldwide @isbe2026.bsky.social #ornithology @vogelwarte.bsky.social

Out now! What do red kite parents do when food provisioning is covered? Our new study shows that good parenting is about more than just being on the nest. doi.org/10.1111/ibi.... Proud of this first senior authorship w/ @vsvanbergen.bsky.social @urskormann.bsky.social @vogelwarte.bsky.social

Happy to have contributed to a new paper on the wonderful Yelkouan shearwaters, highlighting just how vulnerable this species is to human-driven threats 🌊

How does chick-rearing affect fledging success in Yelkouan shearwaters? Proxies for diet varied between colonies, while fledglings grounded on first flight were more likely to have been poorly fed.

🚨Trade-offs across life history stages and social association types shape winter communal roosting in a long-lived raptor "Our study demonstrates how life-history trade-offs and pair bonds influence winter roosting in red kites" 📖Read the full paper ➡️ buff.ly/0JazKaB

Winter means.. communal roosts! 🦅🐦🦜 But why do birds form such roosts? In red kites, young single males are the most frequent visitors. Once paired, birds roost more solitarily, often together as a pair. 📢 Now online: tinyurl.tools/98e9279e @animalecology.bsky.social @vogelwarte.bsky.social

Have you read our recent paper looking at how #COVID19 #lockdown changed foraging behavior of #redkites in Switzerland? 🦅 (🧵⬇️) doi.org/10.1098/rsbl... @vogelwarte.bsky.social @royalsocietypublishing.org

TWO papers just out in @royalsocietypublishing.org #biologyletters : 1) Red kites switched from scavenging along roads to foraging away from roads during the COVID-19 lockdowns. 2) Fishers synchronise heart rates when cooperating with dolphins, but only when in close proximity. 1/
