First PhD paper from Rachel Rose Reid! Her meta-analysis challenges the common concept that urbanisation is bad for avian health. It is much more complex, and depends on the health metric, life stage and level of urbanisation. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Do you find it hard to ask questions after talks? Here is my top tip to increase confidence to ask questions. 🧵

The longest day I’ve had as a best seller on Amazon!! Absolutely incredible! 🙌🏻🐞🐝🐞 I know it’s going to drop soon, but I’m going to live in the moment and be mindful!

Why are non-native animals so successful in urban systems? What is the role of urbanisation in the introduction and establishment of non-native animal species? Excited to share my first first-authored literature review with Davide M Dominoni in J Urban Ecology! academic.oup.com/jue/article/10…

Excited to see this work be published! Our study attempted to understand why urban blue tits produce smaller clutches than their non-urban counterparts. Is this a result of environmental constraints? Or is it an adaptative response to the urban habitat? besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Interested in what we found out? Make sure to give our paper a read! A huge thank you goes out to everyone who helped with this, including Pablo Capilla-Lasheras, Claire Branston, Eugenio Carlon, Davide M Dominoni and to SCENE and UofG SBOHVM for facilitating/supporting this work.

New paper out from our Glasgow urban gradient, led by Mark Pitt and Pablo Capilla-Lasheras. We sought to understand why urban blue tits lay smaller clutches than the rural counterparts. See Mark's thread for details! Glasgow Urban Ecology Group Claire Branston UofG SBOHVM

📣 NEW PAPER 🚨 We investigated why urban birds produce smaller clutches than non-urban birds. I'm thrilled to see Mark Pitt's first paper published, and it was fantastic to be part of the Glasgow Urban Ecology Group team! 📰: tinyurl.com/2dfs3rrm Read more in the 🧵below!

On Jan. 1, I start as a Professor and Curator at the American Museum of Natural History. I am recruiting PhD students and Postdoctoral scholars. Happy to discuss GRFP and PRFB applications. Reach out if you are interested in sensory ecology questions!
