Research group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour studying bird migration
With the new TinyFox live transmitters from @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social, a golden age of experiments in songbird migration has begun! Where do you think naïve young Song Thrushes from Germany will migrate if moved to Poland? #ICARUSproject @jpartecke.bsky.social @animaltracking.bsky.social

Excited to share my first paper with the Liedvogel lab @genmig.bsky.social at @ifv-whv.bsky.social: Together with @jpartecke.bsky.social from the @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social and many others, we looked at the genetics of partial migration in blackbirds onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Combining Individual‐Based Radio‐Tracking With Whole‐Genome Sequencing Data Reveals Candidate for Genetic Basis of Partial Migration in a Songbird
Combining individual-based radio-tracking and whole-genome sequencing, we investigated the population genetics of a partial migratory songbird, the common blackbird. Using population genetic summary ...

3-year Postdoc Position Join our team @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social and investigate the dynamics of seasonal songbird migration using biologging technologies See details here: bit.ly/3ZojW38 Please get in touch if interested & share with anyone else who might be!
My new Outside JEB article @jexpbiol.bsky.social where I highlight a new paper where Nils Lanek, Scott Yanco & colleagues from @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social, measured the energy expenditure in migratory & resident common blackbirds in Germany 🪶🧪🌎🐦 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...
Birds of a feather don't always flock together
To survive winter, when food and temperatures are low, animals can use strategies, such as hibernation or migration, to reduce the energy they burn. Animals of the same species generally use the same ...

Migratory lifestyle carries no added overall energy cost in a partial migratory songbird - Nature Ecology & Evolution
The energetic costs of seasonal bird migration are challenging to measure. Here bio-loggers paired with radio telemetry and energetic modelling show that blackbirds offset the energetic cost of migrat...
