Where do Finnish Reed warblers come from? — INFORMED BIRDS

Combined evidence reveals the origin of a rapid range expansion despite retained genetic diversity and a weak founder effect.

New paper: how does moult affect immune function in birds? In Eurasian blackbirds, immune function remained stable across moult progression in both juveniles and adults, suggesting maintenance of immunity during this energetically demanding stage. ➡️ vist.ly/423q3 #ornithology #birds

New paper: in great tits, male nestlings grow bigger and show stronger immune defenses than females, showing fast growth doesn’t compromise immunity, likely thanks to priority access to food from parents. ➡️ vist.ly/4u2yv #ornithology #birds #ecoimmunology #dimorphism #development 🪶

A throwback to the EUFLYNET COST Action meeting in Vienna at the end of February. Excited to be part of this fantastic network of bird migration scientists and conservationists working across the European–African migratory flyway. www.euflynet.eu

News from the long-term study population of Siberian jays in Swedish Lapland

Royal Society Publishing@royalsocietypublishing.org · 6mo ago

In many species, individuals are more likely to help those they are closely bonded with. This new #RSOS study investigated whether this is also the case for wild Siberian jay: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Thrilled to share my very first paper with you, now out in @avianbiology.bsky.social! We investigated whether innate immune function varies during moult in adult & juvenile blackbirds (undergoing complete or partial moult).

In one of those days where purpose seems hard to find, nice to read: "why does the world still need behavioural ecologists?" A reminder of how exciting it is to see the world from the eyes of a behavioural ecologist. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How great was #EOU2025 in Bangor, Wales?! So delighted to have presented my Master’s thesis project on tracing the geographic origins of behavioural variation in Common Reed Warblers using genomic data. Huge thanks to @bou.org.uk and @dornitholges.bsky.social for helping make this possible!
