Supernice editor dinner with 12 @avianbiology.bsky.social editors and 1 @oikosjournal.bsky.social editor at #EOU2025 ! Amazing food & great company, discussing research, publishing and conferencing.
@nordicoikos.bsky.social is lucky to have you on the editorial boards!

@tjommem.bsky.social showing interesting IPM approach to study epidemics #EOU2025

@oscarvedder.bsky.social showing cool long-yerm data on selection line crossed are #EOU2025

#PFASactionEU - We have just published on our website the updated proposal to restrict #PFAS under #EU_REACH.

The update takes into account the more than 5 600 comments that authorities from 🇩🇰, 🇩🇪, 🇳🇱, 🇳🇴 and 🇸🇪 received during the 2023 consultation.

🚨 Excited to present at #EOU2025! 🚨
Catch me in Oral Session 8: Ecological Physiology 1 (LR3) 🐦

👉 Do you want to know whether #pathogen susceptibility or #ageing can be shaped by maternal hormone effects?

Come to my talk!

Stijn Kouwenberg doing great presenting his first PhD poster at #EOU2025 collaboration @cyanistesnord.bsky.social @keesvanoers.bsky.social Cool work on #microbiome #heritability #physiology coming up

Emil Isaksson showing interesting data on social information use depending on #temperature #EOU2025

Excellent session on causes and consequences of #mitochondria variation #EOU! Stefania Casagrande, @elisathrl.bsky.social Neal Dawson, @pablosalmon.bsky.social Molly Ohse. Variation due to altitude, temperature, diet, pollution,across life- history stages

📌 I really enjoyed @pablosalmon.bsky.social’s talk at #EOU2025! 🐦
Exploring how #mitochondria may shape avian #migration — lessons from Eurasian #blackbirds with different strategies.
Great insights into the energetic basis of life-history strategies!

Liviu Prison showing how blue tit eggs have become more elongated with time and urbanization! I wonder why? #EOU2025

Cool natural experiment type of study system showed by Anna Kellner, where they actually know exactly when species colonize, including tawny owls and pine martens #EOU2025 #BOU

Welcome to #BOUatEOU Woodland Birds, our one-day symposium at #EOU2025

Stay up-to-date with the symposium here on Bluesky by following #BOUatEOU, where presenters will be sharing their research via short threads.

Great! Can you add me too? Thank you🙂

At #EOU2025 @eounion.bsky.social conference next week, we'll show new evidence implicating forestry in declines of British Marsh Tits during the era of woodland conversion in 1950/60s-1980s.
This was period of steepest decline in Marsh Tits. Why? What was going on back then? #ornithology 1/5

Thomas Tieze, showing great data on song evolution in Paris #EOU2025. Song and colourfulness negative correlate

Sad story about 96% decline in willow tit in UK! Cool work by Paul Bellamy looking at factors affecting occupancy and abundance

Just arrived at Bangor for the excellent @eounion.bsky.social #EOU2025 and #BOU conferences! Looking forward to a week of great science on birds!

Deadline for applying the #postdoc on #ecoevo #ecophysiology #microbiota #thermal #avian #genetics in Finland is today 🙂

People protesting against the use of Pfas in France in 2024.

Some gut microbes can absorb and help expel 'forever chemicals' from the body, research shows https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jul/13/pfas-gut-microbes-forever-chemicals

In this study, Cortés-Manzaneque et al. provide strong evidence that prenatal signals of predation risk prepare chicks to cope with predators during their postnatal development, based on findings from a field experiment on the yellow-legged gull.

Why birds decorate their nests with weird and unnatural objects Puzzlingly, many birds add human-made material to their nests with no obvious function – now there is evidence that these home improvements might ward off predators

Gulls experience anthropogenic changes in natural & urban environments, making them useful #BioIndicators. This study of gull physiological health provides reference values for future biomonitoring.
