Can a tiny magnetic sensor help geolocate migratory birds? 🧭 Earth’s magnetic field varies across the globe in both intensity and inclination. We asked whether those spatial patterns can turn magnetometer data from lightweight tags into location estimates.

🚨 Exciting news! The Swiss Ornithological Institute is starting a collaborative program that offers multi-sensor geolocators and analytical support for bird migration research, focusing on underrepresented species & regions. Interested? geopressure.org/GeoCollabForm/ Please share!

🐦🌙 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🧵

Happy to share our new paper published in @cp-iscience.bsky.social We deployed 300+ multi-sensor loggers across 17 species to investigate how different species adapt their flight strategies when crossing deserts and marine areas during migration. tinyurl.com/2c8y8xvf #ornithology #birds

We create #opensource code, but what is its impact? Luckily, Raphaël Nussbaumer wrote a blog post describing how he used our software to build a data standard for #geolocator data: oscibio.inbo.be/blog/geoloca... Couldn't be more proud! 🥹

How I built Geolocator DP using open source code

New standard and software for geolocator data was inspired by tools developed by the Open science lab of biodiversity.
