@oikosjournal.bsky.social
One of the leading peer-reviewed journals in ecology, owned by the @nordicoikos.bsky.social. Publishes research papers where different aspects of ecology are brought together.
New Paper Alert! 📢🧪 The remarkable population increase in Finnish white-tailed #eagles 🦅 was driven by high adult survival, although there are spatial differences. Interested to find out more? The paper is open access! shorturl.at/EEQE2 #raptor #conservation @oikosjournal.bsky.social @utu.fi

I'm very proud of my next first-author publication, this time in @oikosjournal.bsky.social! We analysed the breeding #niche of four #raptor species using a novel method for #NicheOverlap of multiple species & found possible factors promoting or hindering #coexistence: doi.org/10.1002/oik....
Alike but still different: coexistence of four raptor species explained by breeding habitat segregation
Understanding how species competing for similar resources coexist and influence each other has been, and still is, one of the big questions of community ecology. This question has often been tackled ...
