🐦 A cuckoo's first challenge. A rare moment from the field in the Mutěnice ponds: a newly hatched Common Cuckoo chick ejects its foster host's egg from the nest. 🎥 Watch the remarkable beginning of one of Europe’s most extraordinary birds. Video recorded by @biosulc.bsky.social

Do all traits age together? A long-term study of wild Seychelles warblers shows ageing is surprisingly asynchronous, with some traits senescing while others remain unchanged. doi.org/10.1093/evle...

New paper: flight is costly—but so are infections. This review highlights how the immune system + pathogens can contribute to changes in the oxidative balance of migrating birds, with consequences for migratory behaviour and strategies ➡️ vist.ly/5crkm #ornithology #migration #pathogens

how does seasonal migration evolve? this question is to the heart of our focus and here we use common garden approach to characterise the amount of seasonal change in chromatin accessibility in ancestral migratory and derived resident populations of the Eurasian blackcap doi.org/10.1098/rstb...

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Researchers have identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation. https://scim.ag/4nTQ3nq

1/6) What if aging begins, in part, as a bargain made in youth? In turquoise killifish, editing vgll3—a gene linked to puberty-timing in humans and salmon—revealed one of the first causal single-gene examples of antagonistic pleiotropy in vertebrate aging 🧵

In our recent @jexpbiol.bsky.social paper, we test how air temperature during development influences the ontogeny of heat and cold tolerance, using our trusted quail population 🐥🐦 We draw four main conclusions 🧵 shorturl.at/JZpSr

Postnatal temperature triggers predictable thermoregulatory shifts in birds without a trade-off between heat and cold tolerance

Summary: Warm or cold developmental temperatures affect heat and cold tolerance at population levels in Japanese quail; but at individual levels, there was no evidence for a trade-off between toleranc...

New paper accepted in Proc B! 🎉 We disentangled how heatwaves affect maternal egg care in earwigs. We found that mothers adjust care depending on both their own heat stress and the stress of their eggs, but these effects act independently rather than interactively. doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Heat stress disrupts maternal care through independent effects on mothers and eggs

Abstract. Parental care typically protects offspring from environmental stress. Yet, it remains unclear whether this protection arises from stress effects
