We show how combining ฮดยฒH and ฮดยณโดS stable isotopes and tracking data can reveal different moult strategies in the Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris).

Any ECRs (must have PhD by deadline) want to chat about joining my group at Bangor? Get in touch!
Maternal effects, stress, sociality, thermal ecology and intersection of all the aboveโ€ฆ we cover a broad behavioural/ecological/physiological remit and are interested in adding skills to this portfolio!

We've got ISSUES. Literally.

We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

New paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social on seabird wind use and foraging decisions!

doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

We estimated wind selectivity in Manx shearwaters and explored how birds handle the trade-off between being wind efficient and targeting known foraging areas
