🐦 Thrilled to share our latest research, a milestone: the first first-author paper from @shreyadimri.bsky.social, published in @royalsocietypublishing.org Why do birds add fresh green nest material to their nests? 🧵 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

An ethogram for #ruff chicks showing age-related changes in social and other behaviors. Results from a master thesis by @uditnair.bsky.social and PhD chapter from Veronica Rohr-Bender.

Excited to share this study, which my friend contributed to during his master’s work with ruffs. It presents a comprehensive ethogram for chicks and age-related behavioural changes. He is now looking for PhD positions to continue his work with birds. If you have any leads, please reach out to him!

PRISMA is a REPORTING guideline!!

Matt Grainger@drmattg.bsky.social · 4mo ago

My latest blog on evidence synthesis in ecology. We often see reviews that claim to have followed PRISMA. But PRISMA is not a conduct guide but a reporting guideline. Why does this matter? Have a read and find out! «PRISMA is not the method you are looking for». drmattg.github.io/Uncertain_Ec...

I am excited to be talking about using #Quarto for Manuscripts and attending a lot of exciting sessions on how we can make science better! The selection of Workshops in the Symposium is amazing, it is a tough choice! Registrations are still Open!

My job market talk coming out of grad school was about gender differences in STEM. Gelertner's explanation for observed differences served as a foil for the rest of my lecture.

Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind." This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

📣Please share: We are looking for a field assistant to join our team in studying #ruffs on coastal meadows at Botnian Bay in Finland. The job will provide fantastic insights into lekking behaviour and provide essential skills in field ornithology. Details here www.bi.mpg.de/2790786/2512...

Come join us for an exciting week of workshops. Next year will start on a high!!

New Pre-print Alert ‼️ Fascinated by bird nests? Me too!! Some birds add fresh green plants to their nests, even after laying eggs! 🌿 Could this behaviour have benefits? Check out our meta-analysis on @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social here: doi.org/10.32942/X2X... Why do birds use green nest material?

Interested in simulating the kind of data that you might commonly find in evolutionary and ecological studies? Then we have the R package for you - squidSim!! Check our new preprint: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

~10 years after the experiments, the paper is finally ready 😅😅 Take home: nothing beats patient collaborators 😆 Thanks @josefin-sundin.bsky.social @BenSpeers-Roesch @itchyshin.bsky.social @TimClark @SandraBinning!! #OceanAcidification #AnimalBehaviour #OpenScience ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

📢 This year, we’re hosting seven public lectures that anyone can attend completely free of charge between Sept 15 and 18! 📅 Registration for online attendance is open. 🔗 www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/OSSS... #OpenScience #OSSS25 #LMUOSC

Talked about our project on birds nesting behaviour! I experimented with illustrating the slides and enjoyed it so much! What an amazing 6 days of exciting talks, posters and meeting friends old and new! It's a wrap #Behaviour2025

It was an amazing experience talking about all that makes me excited. Heart-warming feedback from the participants and my favourite is "Now I know what a meta-analysis is and everything it is not!" and it summarises what I wanted to achieve in 4.5 hours of this workshop! #Behaviour2025

At #Behaviour2025 in this beautiful hall of Biswa Bangla Convention Center!
