How should we quantify the urban environment? The results of our new paper in STOTEN suggest we risk obscuring physiological responses in birds by generalising habitat measures. Instead, we argue urban factors should be studied in parallel: doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

How important are city trees to birds? Here, we took a look at the finer details of urban green space. Using tit breeding data, we found tree species effects vary within & between years, but nonnative trees were consistently negative. New paper out! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Out now #OA in #Oecologia: non-native trees = lower occupancy & lower body mass in great tit chicks. "Highlighted student research" led by Johan Kjellberg Jensen with Johan Ekroos Pablo Salmón Caroline Isaksson #UrbanEcology #ornithology link.springer.com/article/10.100…

"Om man vill höra mer fågelkvitter på våren tror jag valet av stadsträd är en viktig faktor. Ökar man antalet inhemska arter i parker och grönområden kommer våra småfåglar sannolikt att trivas bättre." Läs mer om långtidsstudien av Johan Kjellberg Jensen lu.se/artikel/svensk…

Our recent work inspired a poem and it made my entire week: thepoetryofscience.scienceblog.com/3657/exotic-da…

Looking for a #postdoc interested in using genome editing to understand #temperature tolerance 🐤. Opportunity to write 2 yr joint proposal to join us Biology, LU Lund University. DL 15 April – email for info. Be great if you could RT. #postdocjobs #postdocposition #climatechange

It’s an honour being highlighted among all the amazing speakers - thank you for a great conference!

How can we reconnect children with nature? Could bird feeding remedy the extinction of experience, and does urbanization affect it all? Very excited about our new paper in People and Nature –some of the most rewarding research I’ve been part of! Caroline Isaksson doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1…
