Happy to announce a postdoc position with me and Jakob Strand, to work on data from the revamped Danish beached bird survey organised by DOF BirdLife Denmark. How many seabirds end up on Danish beached, where do they come from, and why did they die? #seabirds ecos.au.dk/en/about-us/...

⚠️Paper out ⚠️ Here, we checked how Lesser Kestrels do when they nest in natural cavities vs. nestboxes in two very different Italian climates. Conclusion: Not everything works everywhere! Nestboxes can be great in one place, but a heat trap in another. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Shelters or ecological traps? Context‐dependent effects of nestboxes on breeding success in a colonial raptor

Artificial breeding structures, such as nestboxes, can potentially influence the population size and conservation status of bird species relying on heavily human-modified environments such as agroeco....

⚠️Paper out ⚠️ Here, we tested if extra feeding lesser kestrel nestlings during development (and under a heatwave) can help them deal with extreme heat. Spoiler: they really struggle. Extra food helps them grow when it’s just hot, but not under a heatwave. See 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Extra food buffers thermoregulatory costs during early development but does not reduce heatwave-induced mortality in nestlings of a cavity-nesting raptor

Global climate change is increasing both average temperatures and the occurrence of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves. These changes pose majo…
