🐦️ Passerine birds in temperate Europe can fill a role as pollinators, and this may be most functional when the availability of insects, as both pollinators and food, is least reliable 👉️ buff.ly/bIrvaGY
🐦🌙 Happy to see this big collaborative paper out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We address a seemingly simple question using geolocator data collected across many species and individuals: how much of bird migration actually happens at night? www.cell.com/current-biol... A short🧵
🚨Very happy to share our new paper out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! 🦉 We show that barn owl colour morphs do not simply experience moonlight differently — they hunt differently under it. White morphs appear to turn bright moonlight into a hunting advantage. 1/3 #movementecology #barnowl #moon
