This week's EGI seminar will be given by Prof Hanna Kokko @kokkonut.bsky.social from Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz @unimainz.bsky.social on the role of time in avian trade-offs. All welcome in person in LT1 in LaMB @biology.ox.ac.uk 3.30pm on 6 March. Also live-streamed: details available ⬇️
New paper led by @alperyelimlies.bsky.social with @caglaonsal.bsky.social where we examine the repeatability of aggression in urban and rural chaffinches. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
I’m so over-the-moon happy to share that our lovely @mjgarciabianco.bsky.social, so far with us as a fellow funded by @sfb1372.bsky.social, will be able to continue her work in the common tern team as a PhD student, co-funded by ANID and the @daadworldwide.bsky.social.

Enjoyed reading this Perspective from Tautz and colleagues which calls for a re-engagement on the part of classical genetics with the realities of complex phenotypes as revealed by quantitative genetics

12th RIN Conference on Animal Navigation - one of my favourites 🧭🦉🐟🦇🐝🐜 - this time we tried a new format, inviting topical sessions to make sure we represent the wonderfully broad range of research in #animal #orientation and #navigation and are super excited about the lineup s.gwdg.de/EBROf7
Beyond Mendel: a new genetics agenda
Most traits aren’t “one gene–one trait”. A Genetics perspective calls for new experimental paradigms to capture polygenic effects in real environmental context—backed by large-scale automated phenotyping and new infrastructure.

🔈New study!
Microplastics found in 62% of White-throated Dipper broods in Scotland & Basque Country. No body condition effects detected.

girl power for the win! amazing, appreciative, brave, clever, curious, creative, funky, funny, inspirational, persistent, supportive, stubborn (if needed), wonderful, visionary – and simply the best #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience #WomenInScience thank you!
Prof. Dr. Miriam Liedvogel
Explores bird migration by linking behaviour and genetics to uncover how migration is controlled at the molecular level. @genmig.bsky.social
This #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience I would like to say a big THANK YOU to the amazing women and girls I currently have the pleasure of sharing my #ternscience journey with. Onwards and upwards we go! ❤️
Happy 40th birthday, Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park! May your biodiversity be safeguarded, and your birds thrive.
A richly rewarding two days reviewing @ifv-whv.bsky.social: thriving under the brilliant leadership of Sandra Bouwhuis & Miriam Liedvogel. An exciting programme of research into avian migration & life histories with many future stars. Outstanding @commonternproject.bsky.social museum by frozen sea!
🧬 Excited to present some of our recent research on 🐦⬛:
(1/3) Contrary to expectations, migratory Eurasian blackbirds had longer telomeres than residents at a major stopover (Helgoland), despite similar mitochondrial DNA copy numbers

#Ornithology
Proud to present: Suitcase Science, a new outreach format containing 6 assignments to take on a journey to schools in the region, to teach kids about terns, how to study them, their fascinating behaviour and some of the things that threaten them. Wanna book us? Drop me a line. :-)
How does pre- and post-natal environmental stress affect the seminal foam proteome of Japanese quail? Find out here, Chloe Mason’s second PhD thesis paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @martingarlovsky.bsky.social @oscarvedder.bsky.social
Out in @natcomms.nature.com, a collaborative paper showing that, across 73 species (including common terns), warmer years are associated with earlier phenology, and that populations in which such an association was observed have often been stable or increasing: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
