Field season on common cuckoos had an incredible start! We captured 12 individuals, incl. 2 stunning rufous females. Take a look and if you're eager to learn more about the genetic makeup behind the polymorphism of cuckoo females, check our latest paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Stoked this is published! Collect feathers > chop into tiny pieces > set them on fire > measure the gasses*. Differences in adults. Now just a small task of learning geographic assignment using multi-isotope isoscapes paired with geolocator data & larger sample size! Let’s gooo!

The Czech government sets a great example in supporting research! A new type of project funding has been launched. Restart Grants will allow female and male scientists to restart their careers after a break for parental leave! 👏👍 gacr.cz/en/restart-grants-to…

The Czech Turtle Doves tagged this year show two main migratory directions: one via Italy and one via the Balkans. Now they are in Africa where there is no LTE-M network. We hope to hear from them again when they are back in spring! 🕊️ | #HABITRACK #ornithology #birdmigration

Very happy to share our new paper in @PNASNews on how #GriffonVultures change their movement and social behaviour with age: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…
It seems that old griffons are much like old humans: they like to stay at home, are set in their routines and are a bit antisocial.
