Doing lit review be like:

These habitat preferences are closely linked to the predominant agricultural activity of the study area, which is characterized by a high density of dairy farms for the production of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

We've just launched AviList! - the new unified global taxonomic checklist for the world's birds, developed through the Working Group on Avian Classification, including BirdLife, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, IOC and others @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social www.avilist.org

Glad to have been able to contribute to this initiative! Efforts like this are important for making our scientific community more inclusive and accessible to everyone, regardless of language background. The guidelines have been uploaded to Figshare, please feel free to use and share lnkd.in/geipqBxk

As a part of our initiative to lower #languagebarriers at #ICCB2025, we started this series where people share tips for attending/presenting at your first international conference. More to come! See: www.instagram.com/iccb2025/
Led by Angela Liu, @rosamardm.bsky.social and @elizeyxng.bsky.social.

Or feel free to reach out to me, Elize Ng, at elize.ng@uq.edu.au to learn more or arrange a chat to share your shorebird conservation efforts.

【📢 Now available in Chinese and Japanese!】 We invite all shorebird practitioners to share their conservation efforts along the EAAF. Your insights are invaluable in understanding what works and what doesn’t. Contribute by completing our survey tinyurl.com/shorebirdsur...

As part of the efforts to reach out to non-English language practitioners, we are also in the midst of translating the survey into Bahasa Indonesia, Chinese, and Japanese. So stay tuned to its release if you are a native speaker of any of the three languages.

This project is led by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social, Richard Fuller and myself at the University of Queensland!

Call for input from shorebird practitioners to document conservation actions along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Your insights will help assess what actions works and what doesn’t! You may share your efforts via a survey tinyurl.com/shorebirdsur... or contacting elize.ng@uq.edu.au

Could I please be added to the conservation genetics starter pack too!

It is probably not a coincidence that after a paper was accepted in a MDPI journal that the email used is now spammed with predatory journal submission requests

Beautiful Firetail for the bird of the week 😎💁‍♀️

"Galcial pace" best description for how slow things take effect or to be put in place. Best of all, it is somewhat relevant for use in my thesis 🤣

Delightful indeed, but very unexpected guest! I'm sure the Carolina Wrens make up for the lack of color with character 😎. I do feel bad when they get in and struggle to find their way back out 😅

Early bird catches, a bird?

Superb Fairywren snuck into my office

Please ignore my horribly messy desk

Its already the 1st of November, where did the year went?! 😱

Hopefully you get many birds! 🐦
