News from down under! Our latest study in Current Biology uses weather radar to uncover Australia’s unique bird migration patterns—smaller in scale but high variable in timing, direction, and magnitude. Link: cell.com/current-biolog…. #ornithology #BirdMigration #Australia

AVOTREX is out: an open-access companion to AVONET containing morphological traits for ~600 extinct bird species and a phylogeny grafting these taxa onto the global bird tree to support future research on Anthropogenic extinctions. Hat-tip to many co-authors; led by Ferran Sayol

AVOTREX: A global dataset of extinct birds and their traits. 🦤🌍 The dataset includes 610 extinct birds from last 130k years. This dataset includes details on species traits, mirroring the morphological data available for extant species in AVONET (1/8) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…

So excited to have our paper “Spread of yellow-bill-color alleles favored by selection in the long-tailed finch hybrid system” out now in Current Biology ! Check it out: tinyurl.com/billcolor
