Our new study on the diet of birds and bird-plant interactions in Lima city, the largest metropolitan area of Peru, which uses citizen science data, has just been published in the journal Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment. tandfonline.com/eprint/2V6DFYS…

This study would not have been possible without the valuable contribution of citizens who recorded their bird observations on citizen science platforms (eBird and iNaturalist). Let's go birding and document more natural history events of birds!

Excited to see this (pandemic-born project) in print! We found an unusual looking Northern Mockingbird in West Texas.

Tenemos una nueva especie de nutria 🦦 para el mundo (Lontra anectens). Lo cual coloca al Perú 🇵🇪 con 4 especies de nutrias, siendo así el país con más especies de nutrias en América. En este caso vive en las regiones de Tumbes y Piura academic.oup.com/jmammal/advanc…

Los Humedales de Chilca a pesar de no estar reconocidos como tales por nuestro ordenamiento legal, son un invalorable refugio para las aves tanto migratorias como residentes. Hoy con mucho pesar me entero que este lugar está bajo ataque Ministerio del Ambiente 🇵🇪♻️ El Comercio 🧵

OjoPúblico La República Diario El Peruano ojalá puedan darse el tiempo de cubrir esto. Este humedal alberga una diversidad de especies notable para un espacio pequeño. Y de acuerdo a varios registros de observadores de aves, muchas especies migratorias llegan a este sitio.

😮 A new species: Patagona chaski.

Next week I am defending my PhD at University of Miami If you want to hear what I’ve been working on over the past 5 years reach out and I’ll send you to Zoom information. Tawaki Project

Collections-research integration is now achievable. Check out our new paper: Arctos: Community-driven innovations for managing natural and cultural history collections dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa… If your museum's database doesn't work for you like this, consider joining Arctos

I am really excited to share the results of the first chapter of my dissertation in the Waterbirds journal. We examined geographic variation in body size and hematological traits of the slate-colored coot (Fulica ardesiaca) Link: shorturl.at/sPran

Huge congrats to Dr. ⁦Flor Hernandez⁩ for successfully defending your dissertation!!

Our open access data article "Breeding records of 325 bird species from Peru over 21 years based on #citizenscience data" is now published doi.org/10.1111/1440-1… It represents one of the still few efforts to provide national-scale data on breeding birds in the Neotropical region
