Job Alert: 5 Year #PostdoctoralFellowship @KLF_UniVienna for #Behaviour and #Cognition in Thomas Bugnyar's lab: jobs.univie.ac.at/job/University… Specifically for work on wild #ravens in close collaboration with our #movementecology group. Apply by 14.10. photo: @MatthiasLoretto

@BW_Robinson @AmOrnith Is there a chance to receive a PDF copy please? Thank you! My email address is firstname.surname[at]univie.ac.at

Why do some raptors have more than one plumage morph? In a new publication in Ornithology, we outline what is currently known, and the rich research potential provided by plumage polymorphism in this group. doi.org/10.1093/ornith…. @AmOrnith

Join us! I am looking for a Postdoc to join my @WWTF VRG Group @univienna investigating nut-dropping behaviour in crows using biologging technology. Funding available for 3 years! All info here: jobs.univie.ac.at/job/University… Application deadline March 20th. Please RT!

[Thread] I will now explain our new study about people cooperating with honeyguide birds, using Lego and graphs (and Lego graphs). This study was a great team effort: @honeyguiding @honeyguide @jesvanderwal @jesslund01 + many not on Twitter.

We compared the flight behavior of captive-bred and wild-hatched Egyptian #vultures during migration, tracking the birds for multiple years. We analyzed their movement in multiple scales - from timing and distance of complete migration routes to soaring-gliding efficiency.

@ron_efrat Congratulations Ron, so very well done!

Does having a "rough" childhood affect important skills, and how do Egyptian vultures overcome it? Just published in @CurrentBiology. If you like #raptors, #migration, #coservation, #reintroduction, #vultures, #movement #ecology, see below for details. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are happy to announce that our next intensive, non-profit #SummerSchool will take place from 17. - 28. of June 2024 in Konstanz/Radolfzell, Germany. Applications can be send from the 15th of November via animove.org

Petra Sumasgutner (#Wien) berichtet in ihrem Plenarvortrag auf der 156. Jahresversammlung der DO-G (do-g.de) über ihre spannenden Forschungen an verschiedenen Greifvogelarten in Wien, Kapstadt und anderen Städten. @PeSumas

People from all over the world "speaking the same language" for two weeks at #Animove in @ubcokanagan 🍁 come to an end. Friendships were made and knowledge gained ...unfortunately overshadowed by #wildfires resulting in evacuation. We hope everyone got home safely!🚙🚄✈️

Important work about nest types and stressors of urban raptors by @PeSumas - counteracting the overrepresentation of studies from the Northern hemisphere with her research in #Africa and #Asia! #blacksparrowhawk

🚨Want to do a postdoc in Cape Town? 🇿🇦 Interested in Statistical Ecology or experience with machine learning applications in ecology? Univ. of Cape Town postdoc fellowships accepted until 15 September. If interested, please reach out @SEEC_UCT @BioSciUCT uct.ac.za/research-innov…

Our new paper on Golden #Eagle genetics is out in Journal of Raptor Research. Mongolian #Altai Mountains as population stronghold & hotspot for diversity! Funded by @NHM_Wien @UNESCO @lorealparisfr for #WomenInScience & one of the most epic field trips I ever did!

6. Feeling inspired? We ask the #ornithology community to think of 3 key questions in avian urban ecology, ranked from 1: gold; 2: silver; 3: bronze. We adopt inclusive authorship model to publish “100 burning questions”. Please follow link to participate: forms.gle/mm4NqN9JxHcVhn…

4. Air #pollution exacerbates heat effects, with impacts on #redox and #immune system. UHI under #climatechange relaxes thermoregulatory costs in temperate, continental and polar cities during winter, but exacerbates costs in summer and in tropical cities hbresearchproject.wixsite.com/hbresearchproj…
