#IDEALFire fieldwork kicking off today. Tara leading a team collecting biodiversity and soil data in heathland ecosystems to understand the effects of different management practices. NB I am safely locked in my office as I am a liability in the field.

The Blackbird colour-ringing project is in full swing, with more than 50 birds ringed! The most valuable data though, comes from sightings, so if you manage to spot one and see the colour ring please email or message me the location and two letter colour-ring code πŸ“¨πŸ¦β€β¬›

Our new paper on anthropocene island bird diversity-area relationships, led by @txm676, was just published in @Ecology_Letters. Very pleased to help with this one, which shows changing patterns in 51 archipelagos as species go extinct, or are introduced: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Matthews et al. find large body mass, flightlessness, marine habitat affinity and higher dispersal ability are among the #traits driving #extinction risk of #island endemic #birds. Threatened endemics represent unique functional space @JBiogeography doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14474

The analysis illustrated here combines trait data of extant birds (AVONET) with measurements of extinct species. It shows we already lost many unusual island bird lineages and, unless conservation efforts are successful, we risk losing many more

SO CROWS ARE ACTUALLY SUPER SMART. THEY’RE LIKE PRIMATES. OR MAYBE PRIMATES ARE LIKE CROWS. ACTUALLY, ITS REALLY PROBLEMATIC TO PUT ANIMALS ON A LINEAR INTELLIGENCE SCALE BUT DID YOU KNOW NEW CALEDONIA CROWS CAN JUDGE AN OBJECTS WEIGHT BY HOW IT BEHAVES IN THE WIND
