NEW PAPER: Active defence mechanisms in brood parasitism hosts and their consequences for parasite adaptation and speciation. ➡️ vist.ly/3f625 Guillaume DILLENSEGER #ornithology #BroodParasitism #speciation

Please RT! We are looking for an Erasmus student for an exciting project on effect of territory quality on aggression in Tawny owls🦉funded by the GAJU grant Jihočeská univerzita Přf JU One season of fieldwork already completed in collaboration with Malavika Madhavan and Guillaume DILLENSEGER!

Every day, new shenanigans from our lapwings that not only face dummies... No sh*t given tho (or is it?) #lapwing #ornithology #shorebird #PhDstudy

Alena Sucháčková Irena Simova Anna Tószögyová MartinVolf Guillaume Dillenseger Guillaume DILLENSEGER did an literature review to summarise the survival patterns of shorebirds. Great usage of super cute drawings👏and very specific humor during the presentation🤣

Not us grilling marshmallows and Stockbrot at #SSoQE and not me trying to win the picture contest #phdlife

In the first paper from my PhD, we describe the diet of the Little Owl in more detail than before, from nestbox cameras in three European countries and more than 40,000 prey items! A key finding was that invertebrates make up 95 percent of prey! 🦉🐣🪲🐛🪱 Jihočeská univerzita EOU 🐦

I'm excited to share our new review (and also my first, first-author paper🤯) on Vocal individuality in owls, from the perspective of Tinbergen's four questions, now out in the Journal of Ornithology DO-G Read it here rdcu.be/dZCGu 1/🧵 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

CONGRATULATIONS to Guillaume DILLENSEGER for being the runner up of the 2023 JAB Review Award with the review on brood parasite-host interactions and co-evolutionary trajectories! 🏆🎉

[Please RT] PhD position offer to study migration profitability in waders in our team Vojtěch Kubelka Andreas Rimoldi Miguel Silva-Monteiro Deadline 10 Jan #PhDoffer #ornithology #shorebirds

For the followers also using Bluesky, you can find me there as well

Migration has started (again). The Teros/Southern Lapwings of Rio Grande, Argentina, breeding at the southernmost tip of their distribution, are flying to their wintering areas. They usually fly straight until the edge of the Andean mountains, in the region of Coyhaique #scicomm

Thrilled that my colleague JuanIgnacio got awarded the Wader Study small grant! During our fieldwork in Salta, Argentina, we encountered the enigmatic Andean Lapwing. Juan will try to find out more about the migratory behaviour of this poorly understood shorebird species 📡🪽

📌 We would like to invite you to the 52nd #conference of our society, which will take place from November 13th to 16th, 2025 at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. Save the date! 🔗 For accommodation options and more, follow our website csets.sk 🤩

Post-doctoral Researcher in Animal Migration Ecology open position: prf.jcu.cz/images/PRF/fak… Fully funded ERC CZ project post-doc University of South Bohemia, Czech Republic #postdoc #joboffer #ornithology #research #birds #migration

Justine Delautre, M1 student in our team from Montpellier, successful defended her thesis on risks and consequences lapwings are facing when nesting close to forests. We hope to share soon the results with you #ornithology #conservation #PhD #lapwing #shorebird

[Please RT] Our collaborative project exploring the link between nesting phenology and substrate property, is still ongoing, with collected data in Asia and America. You monitor ground-nesting birds in the tropics? Then consider joining us! Contact me :) #ornithology #birds

Amazing poster from S Sangeeth Sailas from Jihočeská univerzita presenting one of his PHD chapter: global analysis of raptor, which raptors suffer from intentional mortality and deserve more protection measures at #EOU2025

Excited to announce the start of our 2025 field season in Argentina, investigating movement, antipredatory and nesting behaviours of teros with JuanIgnacio #lapwing #teros #PhDstudy #ornithology
