Happy Fairywren Friday! On our first #fairywrenfriday we have Malcom Moniz's stunning shots of a courting White-winged Fairywren. Look how extended the white feathers are in the first photo compared to the third. Send us your fairywren photos to be featured! #fairywrenproject

New paper with Dr Kirsty MacLeod on role of social and ecological context on fairy-wren provisioning behaviour authors.elsevier.com/a/1XZyJmjLmWKi

New research on provisioning behaviour in Fairywrens! Red-winged fairywrens decrease investment in nestling rearing with more male helpers independent of nestling need.

We are excited to announce that we have our first Fairywren Project data update! We launched the project in August 2018 and we’ve already had 286 eBird checklists submitted with plumage data by 60 participants! #CitizenScience #FairywrenProject

We have people submitting from across Australia and for many different species of fairywren. The map below shows where participants have been submitting checklists from, and how many checklists per area have been submitted. Thank you to all our participants!

Good to see this out, great collaboration with Simon Griffith! Extra‐pair paternity in birds onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Are you interested in doing a PhD in my group? We catch birds, fly in helicopters to islands, and write cool code. If that sounds like you, apply! --> findaphd.com/phds/project/p…

Been getting a lot of emails from this predatory journal lately, so I decided to submit this manuscript. Stay tuned. 🤞🤞🤞 longdom.org/entomology-orn…

Many #birds are able to change their egg-laying date to cope with variable conditions, new #research shows. The study examined birds & #mammals, & found birds in particular showed the ability to find the "optimum" laying date. exeter.ac.uk/news/research/… Pictured: Great Tit chicks

With our (Lyanne Brouwer) new MA on within-season divorce in birds (Royal Society Publishing) I want to highlight the importance of using >1 (in fact 15!) different databases/platforms to preform #systematicreviw (+some other stuff) in the 🧵 below 1/x paper here royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

A study of breeding data for 201 populations of 104 bird species worldwide between 1970 and 2019 suggests that climate change is reducing the number of offspring for over half of the population. In PNAS: ow.ly/VLtE50O9UKv
