Second paper of my PhD out in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology! 🥳 Read more about the effects of inbreeding on personality traits in a precocial bird!👇 Thanks to @ifv_whv @MariaMoironn @Pablukas @B_Tschirren doi.org/10.1007/s00265…

🚨PhD ALERT! 🚨 We are looking for a highly motivated student to use 🧬 genomic approaches 🧬 to unravel the mysteries of migration using yellow-browed warblers. Think this is you or someone you know? Then come to our Q&A session at on 02/12 and check out the ad below!

✅️Today my very first bachelor student at the University of Oldenburg submitted her thesis 😊 Pamira had a closer look at the #arthropod abubdance and diversity in a forest here in lower saxony in collaboration with @RBorrelia and @GenMig in @SFB_1372 🐛🪲🐜🦗🕷🪰

🦩 Migratory birds provide multiple benefits to humans, including: 🌱Seed dispersal 🌺Pollination 🐛Pest control But light pollution is a threat, causing disorientation when they fly at night.🌃

It takes a village to tag the robins and I could not have asked for a better village :D @LarsBurnus @sara_dge @RBorrelia @Pablukas @GenMig @ifv_whv et al. Super excited to see what our robins will be up to this year!

Ready, set, wheeee! After 2 months of hard work and ~150 robins, the 4th field season of the long term robin monitoring project (and my first season leading it!) has drawn to a close. (1/2)

Three incredible days & nights of #AnimalNavigation and #Magnetoreception at our 2024 Spring Meeting in a wonderful venue at the Thülsfelder Talsperre! Time flew as we enjoyed our discussions, talks and the new PhD student poster competition.

The IISERs now only take in students through the IAT, apparently. No more admission through JEE (and KVPY has been scrapped anyway). I'm sure knowing your shot at getting into these "fancy" science institutes now entirely hinges on 1 national level exam isn't stressful at all 😬

Does the diversity of anuran iris pattern have an ecological function or is it just beauty in the eye of the beholder? I am happy to share my new paper with @KSSeshadri and @MacrophysLab published in @evoecology @SpringerNature link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Work with @nakul_wewhare @IISERPune @BinwalPriya @iiserkol @Vaishna05069787 @iiserbhopal and Dr. Anand Krishnan @jncasr is now out in @J_Exp_Biol journals.biologists.com/jeb/article-ab…

So excited to have designed these t-shirts for @WRCSIndia for @sccsbng. Be sure to check them out if you're around! #Tigers #owls #wildlife #conservation

Really excited to share that the work with @ShikharaBhat and Dr. Anand Krishnan, as a part of my Master’s thesis, examining differences in vocal sequences of Spealeornis wren-babbler species is now published in Behavioral ecology and Sociobiology!! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

I am pleased to share that our paper on the effect of different food quality treatments on sexually selected traits in male house mice got published in @FrontEcolEvol @NeelamPorwal8 @HimrekhaA and Dr. Anja Guenther frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

We are back from an amazing week at #ATBC2023! 10 talks, 2 speed talks, 1 poster, 1 symposium, 1 workshop and 8 awards! @theATBC 2023 was a huge success for TrEE lab. Congratulations to all of us who presented and volunteered at such a huge conference! 🎉👏

Finally, an announcement. After finishing a successful field season in Oldenburg, I am excited to announce that I'll be joining @GenMig at @ifv_whv as a PhD student starting this Autumn! Looking forward to starting this new chapter in my career :D

Next, I attended my first international conference! @theATBC was an amazing platform for me to share my research, hear about some splendid work and gain perspective. #atbc

The past few months have been a whirlwind now that I have a moment to catch my breath, I have so many things to share! 🧵 (1/4)
