We are still interested in any found twite feathers for a study on the relationships and genetic diversity between the British groups - particularly now for birds of Scottish origin in the NE of England or, birds on the Avon.
DM me for me more info.

One week left on this! Good opportunity for someone interested in #behaviour, #genomics and #migration to come work will some fun seabirds and some fun people 🧬🐣🛰️

Who thought that this project would end up in an actual book people can by in shops? I am very happy that the book is out there now and I hope that many will join the journey of the robin on its way south :)

Excited to be helping with this! Always love working with ringing data, and great to do so working on such an interesting question ☺️

Mental!!!!! White-throated Needletail phone video!!! @flamboroughbird.bsky.social #yorkshirebirding

Been great fun visiting @flamboroughbird.bsky.social last week, and am super excited to be back in a few days! Awesome start to the project with 4 birds sampled in the last 4 days, we're hoping to use #genomic data derived from feather samples to see where these enigmatic birds come from ☺️

Opportunities and challenges for new technologies in seabird population monitoring Abstract. Monitoring of seabird population size and demography has for decades relied on observer-based methods. While such methods have allowed the accumu

🚨 New #seabirds paper 🚨

Following a workshop at the International Seabird Group Conference 2024 & led by @seabirdmortenf.bsky.social, we review opportunities & challenges for new technologies in seabird monitoring 🎥💻🐣

Sadly this is only open to ‘home-funded’ students (essentially UK residents) owing to the funding situation. This absolutely sucks, but would be a really good opportunity for a UK-based researcher looking to take their first steps in academia!

Supervised by the inimitable @jon-seabirds.bsky.social, @genmig.bsky.social and Susanne Åkesson (alongside me!), I'm quite excited to see how this one turns out!

🚨 PhD alert 🚨 We are looking for a highly motivated student to use 🧬 genomics 🧬 and 🛰️ bio-logging 🛰️ approaches to disentangle cultural and genetic contributions to seabird migration 🐣 Think this is you, or someone you know? Then come to our Q&A session at on 29/09 and check out the ad below!

1/10 We are thrilled to announce that our new paper on conservation genomics of the Balearic shearwater has just been published online at @pnas.org! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Thanks both for organising! Really good fun and a lot of interesting discussions. Lots to think about!

Glad to see this one out! The product of some thought-provoking discussions with lots of cool people 🗺️ might be worth a read for those interested in #navigation or #migration 🦅 🐝 🐟 🐁

We wondered much the same! Likewise the little buntings, even after 10 days looking for them I couldn’t sincerely tell you what habitat they favour (aside a bit of standing water).

2 seen up in Ivalo! Spotted by @pauldufour80.bsky.social, I thought they were wood sandpiper...

Insanely cool part of the world, very lucky to be working on these birds. Though can't say I'll miss the mosquitoes (or the sweet Gudbrandsdalen cheese, if I'm honest...). Excited to see what we learn when we sequence these guys (and their European-wintering cousins)! ☺️ #ornithology

Pre-laying sex differences in reproductive roles can constrain foraging behaviour in a monomorphic seabird - Marine Biology Sex differences in foraging behaviour can arise in monomorphic species when reproductive roles differ.

Am super excited that our new paper is out, it looks at how reproductive role can constrain foraging and restrict evening diving opportunities for males during the pre-laying period in Manx shearwaters🥚

Now 11 birds recaught 😎 new pressure loggers giving insights into migration I never thought possible, absolutely incredible technology. Wouldn’t be possible without the help of friends here in Georgia, Levan, Sopo, Vano and Natia 🇬🇪 ☺️

The Yellow-legged Gull (Larus michahellis), recently better known as pope gull (Larus urbietorbicum 😁), has now a chromosome-scale sequenced reference genome! Our first publication from the #LarOmics project, congrats @eksramos.bsky.social et al., see: wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/10-...

Common whitethroat in the hand having been fitted with a BTO metal ring. All birds were caught and ringed under BTO licence.

My favourite passerine, the whitethroat (controversial, I know!) 💚

It's been great observing their numbers build in our local park over the last week & excellent to catch one in our first ringing session there this morning.

I am very excited to announce our new paper describing the tick communities on Helgoland. We highlighted a potentially stable population of a tick species which has not been described in Germany since the 1970s! Feel free to reach out if you have questions 😄

Very pleased to see this fella out at last☺️ a privilege to work with such lovely data and people, perhaps worth a read for those interested in #selection, #navigation and #telemetry! certainly some unexpected results from my perspective 👀

Very excited to collaborate working with these samples! Well in @pauldufour80.bsky.social on what sounded like some epic and eventful fieldwork 😮

For my first post here, I’m happy to share our new paper just published in @ibisjournal.bsky.social Thanks to a great team effort, we made a small step forward in the study of Siberian vagrants in Europe and clarified the status of two (pseudo) vagrants: the YBW & the Sib Chiffchaff. Some results 🧵
