The second chapter of my PhD is out! 💥Check it out if you're interested to know how early-life conditions can influence social and spatial phenotypes in young red kites. A big thanks to my co-authors for this wonderful collaboration 🪶

For obvious reasons leaving this platform. You can find me at bsky.app/profile/bcatit…

NEW JOB in #ornithology to track nutcrackers through alpine forests in #Switzerland: buff.ly/4f54bUU

🐦New article in early view!🐦 First deployment of #IoT #tracking devices on #CommonSwift Apus apus: a pilot study Link: doi.org/10.30456/AVO.2… #GPS #Movement #Ecology #Ornithology #Birds @miche_morganti

NEW BLOG in #ornithology explains how to extract breeding success and other info from #telemetry data of #raptors: buff.ly/4hSAcSD

Stress transmission in bird flocks–it’s a thing! 🐦🐦⚡️@DamienFarine and I show what happens to zebra finches living together with stressed friends. Stoked to see this out, sooo much hard work went into it. Thanks @CBehav @UniKonstanz @MPI_animalbehav royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

@JackAndrewBrand @FormasForsk @SLUwildresearch @ZSLScience @NINAnature @MonashBiol @DrBrodin @MichaelGBertram @DK_Dowling Congrats Jack that’s awesome!

Super happy to have been awarded a 4-year @FormasForsk ECR grant! I will be investigating how novel mitochondrial DNA from escaped farmed fish affects wild Atlantic salmon populations. Working with collaborators from @SLUwildresearch, @ZSLScience, @NINAnature, and @MonashBiol!

🐣🦅How does the natal environment influence habitat preferences during dispersal? Read our new study lead by @FlOrgeret to know more about the tale of the "town red kite" vs the "country red kite"!

Check out my blog post on #theBOUblog summarizing our new study looking at the reproductive consequences of migration strategy in partially migrant Red Kites. @Vogelwarte_scie @ESAEcology bou.org.uk/blog-witczak-r…

Our new study by @switczak5@urskorme @BCatitti @PatrickScherler @VSvanBergen and Martin Grüebler in @ESAEcology shows that migration strategy in partially migrant Red Kites influences subsequent reproductive success! Read more here: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

📢🦅We're looking for a MSc student to join our red kite team to work on the costs of partial migration 🦅📢 Please RT!

NEW PAPER in #ornithology uses #telemetry data to quantify the extent to which #raptors rely on human food subsidies: buff.ly/4eyNRfr

NEW PAPER in #ornithology provides a tool to identify nesting and success from #telemetry data using #raptors as an example Paper: buff.ly/4h9mpGL R-package: buff.ly/3UclmMs App to find nests in the field: buff.ly/3Y2db6E

Where did the time go? It’s hard to believe my 2-month stay at @EcoEvo_ANU in @DamienFarine's lab has already come to an end. Being immersed in this group’s outstanding research has been incredibly stimulating. Next stop: @ISBE2024 in Melbourne!

Birds saved my life. There’s nothing unusual about that. What’s more unusual about my situation, is that it was birding that caused my life to need saving in the first place. A true story, my story. Read it here: linktr.ee/ahwildlife @_BTO #Birds #Art #writing #nature

Come work with us! #Job #birdmigration

EVERYONE needs more time to think

Had such a great time at @ecbb2024. Listening first-hand to the latest developments in behavioural ecology is truly inspiring, and was the right motivation boost for my upcoming research stay in Australia at @EcoEvo_ANU with @DamienFarine! 🦅

me with all my academic friends

For animal-dispersed plants, the behaviour of seed-dispersing animals has direct consequences. By analysing the movements of spotted nutcrackers, our team found two distinct behaviour having far-reaching consequences for ecosystem functions. More on doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…
