Where do migratory seabirds go? Come to @ueaenv for a PhD studying the connectivity and conservation of seabird marine flyways, with a great supervisory and collaboration team @AldinaFranco @TammyEDavies @BirdLifeMarine @PeterIMiller More info here: aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/S…

New PhD project @ueaceec @ueaenv examining individual variability in movement strategies of birds using tracking data. With me and @MariusSomveille @InesCatry @timmackrill @MartaAcacio aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/f… #ornithology

I'm very excited that another of my PhD chapters is published today #OpenAccess in @PaN_BES! We investigate the links between #Birdsongs, #vineyard #soundscapes and #Wellbeing 🐦🍇🎶 🔗besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa… @LynnDicks @_SimonButler @UEAResearch @NRPBIODTP #ornithology 🧵

[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.

This is a disappointing change.

⚡️Postdoc in sensory ecology!⚡️ 3 year position at @OxfordBiology on colouration in fish schools! If antipredator colour, collective behaviour, fieldwork in nice places, and fun experiments with predatory fish is your thing, get in touch! Pls RT 🐟🐟🐠🐠💥jobs.ac.uk/job/DHJ328/pos…

THREAD: What is happening in UK universities is astonishing. Right now about quarter of universities are laying off staff. Almost all universities expect to make a loss this year. And the entire thing is happening in an effort to deceive the population about migration statistics.

Introducing our #ISBE2024 plenary speakers: Prof Claire Spottiswoode (University of Cape Town & University of Cambridge). Claire’s research includes coevolution between brood-parasitic birds and their hosts, and mutualism between honeyguides and humans. science.uct.ac.za/fitzpatrick/cl…

This, by contrast, is the only acceptable way.

This is a batshit way of operationalising clickable references in journal articles. This is the academic hill I will die on.

🚨🚨Help us spread the word!!!! Fully funded field course for South African students. Apply by March 31. Come to learn how to study animal communication and collective behaviour in the wild. Plan and run your own project on the amazing Kalahari fauna. For details click 👇 or DM

This article resonates. Creativity is an optimistic investment in your future. It's near-impossible to make that investment when (for one reason or another) you are fighting to survive. science.org/content/articl…
