👉Today, we published the 2024 PECBMS update of bird trends and Wild Bird Indices

Unfortunately, the birds keep declining.
This is an incredible honor and I still find myself a bit speechless. Thank you so much for this recognition in Frontiers in Ornithology.
Very much looking forward to #BOU2025
- Birds / People / Science a combination I love @IBED_UvA
Interested in new approaches and innovative ideas in avian research? Check out the #BOU2025 Frontiers in Ornithology Conference. This will be a really exciting conference with a fantastic lineup of keynote speakers. We're especially interested in submissions from ECR researchers!
With another semester ending, here's your annual reminder that teaching evaluations systemically disadvantage women. Even when controlling for grades and other factors, students (esp. males) consistently give female professors lower scores. This can have serious ramifications.🧵
Interested in bird migration? Want to do a PhD that combines fieldwork with modelling? There's still a week left to apply for this PhD! #PhD#Ornithology#Migration
NEW - The decline of European farmland birds continues but there is a slight upturn in forest birds. Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme presents updated common bird indicators 1980–2022. Data for 168 bird species from 30 countries⬇️@RSPBScience 🐦

Our new paper is now out in @consbiog, where we present a new modelling framework - Spatially explicit Adaptive Migration Models (SAMMs). We show how this approach can simulate the optimal behavioural decisions to migrate across open land- and seascapes onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
SAMMs offer an exciting tool for identifying the key threats faced by migratory species, how these species could adapt their migrations in response to environmental change, and the consequences of not being able to adapt.
