1/10 I write to share some updates re the current H5N1 outbreak in Israel from our #movement_ecology perspective, with aspects highly relevant to #epidemiology as well. But let me start with some background first. #BirdFlu #AvianFlu #influenza #cranes #H5N1 #Zoonotic #Israel

Every year our small friends travel more than 5000kms, and every year they come back to the same nests! On today's Pills of Falkon: The Great Journey of the #Lesserkestrel. LIFE Programme @MiTE_IT #LIFEFalkon #LIFEproject

We are very proud to have contributed to this amazing dataset of lesser kestrel migrations from Italy, with ISPRA - Ist. Sup. Protezione e Ricerca Ambientale CNR Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche and Università degli Studi di Milano , and Greece with ornithologiki

We are grateful to our friends of LPO France for hosting in their #OiseauMag an article on our project. First author: the French side of #lifefalkon, Jennifer Morinay! see the news here: lifefalkon.eu/en/news/they-t…

Super proud of Federico De Pascalis who excellently defended his PhD thesis on intrisic and extrinsic drivers of foraging movements in colonial birds Università degli Studi di Milano Let's give a big 👏👏 for him! #PhDone

Norwegian minister for higher education fires the Research Council of Norway board, cuts grants and stops new grant announcements. This is a major scandal that will hurt Norway for years! Jonas Gahr Støre forskerforum.no/foreslar-store…

These two trees in #Matera host hundreds of lesser kestrels (mainly males) every night during the breeding season. They should be recognised as protect areas. #raptor #conservation

Happy to announce that our new paper ’Conceptual preferences can be transmitted via selective social information use between competing wild bird species’ has just been published in Royal Society Open Science royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Our team in #Matera mainly works with #lesserkestrel in #nestboxes but some wild nests are also found! Enjoy the gif by Alejandro CC @alecorr-castro.bsky.social ! Università di Padova ISPRA - Ist. Sup. Protezione e Ricerca Ambientale CNR-DTA Università degli Studi di Milano ornithologiki

Ever wondered whether #lesserkestrels are faithful to the same supermarket (aka #foraging area)? Then read our new paper in #Animal #Behaviour. Free access for the next 30 days at: authors.elsevier.com/a/1fooo_4tk-tAF Animal Behavior Society @asab_tweets #ornithology #Matera

The expansion of #marine #offshore activities calls for scientific data easily available to decision makers.
