Graphical abstract for a manuscript titled "Too few, too many, or just right? Optimizing sample sizes for population-level inferences in animal tracking projects". The workflow presented in this manuscript evaluates sampling design by assessing sampling duration, sampling interval, and the number of sampled individuals needed to obtain reliable population-level estimates.

✨ New preprint! "Too few, too many, or just right?" 🌍🌎🌏 We explore how to evaluate study design in animal tracking studies by assessing sampling duration, interval, and, now, the number of individuals needed for reliable population-level estimates. #movementecology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Protect Antarctica — or risk accelerating planetary meltdown To keep Earth habitable, humanity must recognize the value of Antarctica and seek to save it from irreversible damage.

Good point! I missed to post the link, here it is: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Published 📖 🥳 In a new meta-analysis @mariusgrabow.bsky.social studied whether subtle infection, traditionally often considered as relatively benign, affect phenotypic and demographic traits. Using avian blood parasites, causing #avianmalaria as an example, we performed a systematic review 🧵

Wenn Parasiten den Flug bremsen Eingeschränkte Bewegung von Staren mit Parasiten-Infektionen wirkt sich negativ auf deren Nachwuchs aus Pressemitteilung von Leibniz-Institut für Zoo- und Wildtierforschung, TU Berlin und Uni Potsdam

🐦 Eine gemeinsame Studie von #TUBerlin, @unipotsdam.bsky.social & Leibniz-IZW
zeigt: Mit Blutparasiten infizierte Stare bewegen sich weniger, suchen in schlechteren Gebieten nach Futter & ihre Küken sind im Schnitt 12% leichter. Das kann gravierende Auswirkungen auf nachfolgende Generationen haben.⬇️

Starlings really are the most extraordinary-looking birds...
