A great blog post by @lisandrina_m summarising the results of our study on the eggshell coloration of pied flycatchers published recently in @AvianBiology. Blog ➡️ avianbiology.org/blog/heavy-met… Paper ➡️ nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Structural plumage colour changes differently in urban and rural areas link.springer.com/article/10.100… . Check out my new paper co-authored by @LynnSiefferman and my former MA student @AnnaPlackowska. #urban #feather #birds #AirPollution #city

Jeżeli ktoś ma ochotę posłuchać o naszych badaniach nad wpływem światła na biologię i ekologię bogatki, zapraszam na Wrocławskie Seminaria Ornitologiczne, dzisiaj (02.03.2023), godz. 17:00. @ClimbUpScience #Nestbox #light

@MartaSzulkin @prezydentpl @IBE_Warszawa Gratulacje Marta i powodzenia w nowym miejscu!

Great news! I have been promoted to full professor by @prezydentpl. I am also moving to the Institute of Evolutionary Biology @IBE_Warszawa, together with my lab. Looking forward to starting new avenues of research and continuing exciting projects pertaining to the urban space!!

I've always wanted a prism and I finally got one! It was a gift from my PhD student Paweł @ClimbUpScience . What a great gift for a "color oriented supervisor". Thank you! #colour #light

Build your own high-sensitivity spectroradiometer for ~£250. Measures down to 0.001cd.m-2. See my pre-print here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… and source here: github.com/troscianko/OSp… #colsci p.s. Twitter is evil - come join me on mastodon @jolyon@ecoevo.social

My first doctoral student successfully defended his doctoral thesis today. Congratulations Paul! 🧑‍🎓👏@ClimbUpScience

Can daylight affect nestlings of hole-nestings birds? Check out our new paper in Journal of #Ornithology ! #GreatTit #paridae bit.ly/3QQhNqV

I'm happy to announce that our new paper on Great Spotted Woodpecker carotenoid plumage coloration came out in Journal of Ornithology. All birds were caught by our brave friends from @izplus. link.springer.com/content/pdf/10… #birds #colors #spectroscopy #Feather

Did you know that #female can start a second #brood (in the same #nest !) before the first brood #nestlings #fledge? If you want to learn more, read our new article: doi.org/10.1080/247502… #GreatTit #nestbox #Parus #camera #brood_overlapping

Apart from a slightly different context, the main message of this song appears appallingly timely: "But what might save us, me and you Is if the Russians love their children too" youtube.com/watch?v=wHylQR…

Our new method of monitoring of #nest_box using #trail_camera. The method is very simple and very effective! Using it, we surveyed the hours of egg laying and hatching in #GreatTit. Check it out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

The goal of teaching should not be to help the students learn how to memorize and spit out information under academic pressure. 🧠 The purpose of teaching is to inspire the desire for learning in them and make them able to think, understand, and question.

#pogotowiedladrzew Tyle zostało po starych, uzdrowiskowych borach otaczających #Augustów 😔 Niektóre z wycinanych sosen mają ponad 200 lat!! Podpisz petycję ws zachowania augustowskich lasów wodochronnych. Mamy już ponad1200 podpisów dzikapolska.org/petycja/

@perezrodriguezl Thank you Lorenzo. Actually, this brass holder was made by one skilful turner who works at my father's shop.

@AdrianSurmacki Wow, what a cool probe holder! Is is a self-made device or did you purchase it from any supplier?

Another busy day in a wood… . Paweł Podkowa #ClimbUpScience is measuring #color of nestlings’ gapes with a #spectrophotometer as a part of our project on the effect of #light conditions on visual and vocal #communication in Great Tits. #nestbox #coloration #GreatTit

An all-star lineup including @Geoffrey_E_Hill, @mbtoomey, @cowbirdlab, and *pulls collar* myself try to answer the question of why mammal colors are so, well, boring* gizmodo.com/why-arent-ther… *relative to birds, squamates, and insects

@Geoffrey_E_Hill @YufengZhang7 @mbtoomey Congratulations Geoff! Sounds fantastic.

Exciting news: NSF is funding a House Finch carotenoid/ketolation grant with @YufengZhang7 and @mbtoomey. We’ll be using cutting edge proteomics and cell bio techniques to understand honest signaling. #carotenoid
