Nice study Chiara. These longterm owl datasets from Finland are something else!

🎉 New publication out in Global Change Biology ! 🦉🎉🥳 Climate change and perishable food hoards of an avian predator: Is the freezer still working? Soon I'll write a nice thread... but in the meanwhile, you can read it here doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15… #ornithology #PhD

Thanks a lot to Joshua Rapp Learn and The Wildlife Society for this article covering our work on the effects of tracking devices on our #dunlins. #dunlinproject #ornithology Kari Koivula Robert L Thomson

Our new open access paper is out in Scientific Reports here: nature.com/articles/s4159…. In partially migratory lesser kestrels (see Triptych 1), breeding site location was more important for reproductive fitness than any effects of migratory strategy.

When is conservation cost-effective? sounds like the most basic question in the conservation science discipline, right? Yet the answer is: We don´t know in most cases 🙁 Much work ahead Conservation Evidence

After an epic trip around SA often sleeping in his car, Christiaan Brink has produced a valuable resource for conservation.

Conditioned food aversion, if well refined through trials, potentially offers a non-lethal solution to management of predators causing high nest losses. Well done Angela, a nice piece of applied conservation research.

Our old timer, a male #dunlin made it back! He is now 18 years old and already with a lady friend. #dunlinproject ⁦Kari Koivula⁩ #ornithology

After years of carrying ladders, of all sizes, well done @AnthonyLowney. The thread below sums this work up brilliantly.

As populations of Baltic 'schinzii' Dunlin decline, strong philopatry and increasingly isolated breeding sites combine to produce inbreeding. Genetics paper: bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Bigger picture: wadertales.wordpress.com/2021/06/20/dun… #waders #shorebirds #ornithology

Researchers in #BMCEcolEvol find that the Baltic Southern Dunlin needs urgent conservation efforts to increase connectivity and gene flow among breeding sites. To find out more visit <ow.ly/ETQ650Fgzr4> and the Graham Appleton #WaderTales blog <ow.ly/u1Z850Fgzr5>

Dunlin concerns. Veli-Matti Pakanen & Kari Koivula sound the alarm, based on studies in the Baltic: wadertales.wordpress.com/2021/06/20/dun… One of 17 #WaderTales blogs in 2021 wadertales.wordpress.com/2021/12/23/wad… #waders #shorebirds #ornithology Global Flyway Network

.Premier Alan Winde please facilitate community initiatives by prioritizing accreditation processes. Be clear about what is needed to get accreditation, then ensure timely decisions.

Ostrich Update! 2 of the 11 red-necked ostriches that were translocated to Ennedi in 2020 have had chicks! Thought to be locally extinct in this part of Chad, a small flock discovered in Ennedi inspired this project to bolster existing numbers & secure a future for the species.

The most fascinating expedition I've done. Massive thanks to Elsa Bussiere for driving this work. The 2021 expedition was a great success too. FitzPatrick Ins
