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

Out today in @Ecology_Letters and OA: "Natal legacies cause social and spatial marginalization during dispersal" by @BCatitti, Martin Grüebler @DamienFarine and myself. Happy to see this out! doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…

Our new study by @switczak5 @urskorme Michael Schaub @SteffOpp Martin Grüebler in @AnimalEcology shows that age, sex and body size influence whether Red Kites migrate or remain over winter in Switzerland! Read more here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… Photo: @VSvanBergen

@FlOrgeret @EcographyJourna Nice paper out in @EcographyJourna on how habitat selection develops with age during natal dispersal by my postdoc @FlOrgeret and the red kite crew @ @Vogelwarte_scie ! Nice job Flo!

New in @EcographyJourna! We tracked red kites over 6 years to analyze changes in habitat preferences during natal dispersal. Findings highlight the need for life-stage considerations in species distribution models! #Movement #Dispersal #HabitatSelection onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

This is my debut first-author paper and I want to thank everyone who contributed to it being published, including many data contributors to AVONET onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… & Biofrag biofrag.wordpress.com (10/10)

We offer a #PhD position in #tropical #forest #ecology and restoration at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. You will conduct field work in several sites in the tropics (South America, Africa, Southeast Asia), using a drone and terrestrial Lidar. Apply until 01/05

We are launching a new Master in #biodiversity #conservation. We'll offer training in biology, but also law, economics, anthropology and psychology. Because biodiversity loss is a complex issue that can not be tackled through a unique lens. Uni Neuchâtel, Switzerland

Important new study from Olivia Miller, Heather Grab, and @PovedaLab shows commercial bumble 🐝colonies placed in the field during spring 🍎 pollination attract and kill ~10 wild nest-searching queens on average. news.cornell.edu/stories/2023/0…

ChatGPT codes (with comments) for you! "Please write a script in Python to extract a NDVI time series for the Black Forest in Germany using Google Earth Engine." 😲

MSc-thesis @WSL_research & @Vogelwarte_scie with @MatthiasTschumi, @urskorme & me: You will investigate the seed #dispersal community of the #invasive Chinese windmill palm in Ticino (CH) using camera traps focusing on #birds & #mammals vogelwarte.ch/de/vogelwarte/…

I just get tired...Tired of hearing that 1.5°C is a "target" or "goal". IT IS NOT. It is a limit. The only real goal is 0°C. And not bad 1.5°C, when we LIKELY tip GIS, WAIS, Tropical Coral Reefs and Abrupt Boreal Permafrost, and get more floods, droughts, heat, disease, storms.

A good demonstration of grant money and university overhead

@naturealexk @Pressefrey Dasselbe hier in Schweizer Mittelland... welche Folgen für Bodenbrüter und Insekten mit früher Phänologie?

Auf den Artkel warte ich schon lange. 19.000 Tonnen Plastik gelangen jährlich in Deutschland in landwirtschaftliche Böden. Danke für die Pro/Kontra Zusammenstellung @Pressefrey BZ 19.04.
