I found this pile of mandibles in a #whimbrel #poo sample. Is it safe to assume they belonged to caterpillars? Or could they be from other invertebrates?
Thanks in advance!

Less than 20 years ago, the world was headed for a >4C warmer world by 2100. The amount of change that would occur under that much warming, that fast, was almost unimaginable and certainly unsurvivable for human civilization a large percentage of the world's species. (thread)

Thank you, @FieldOrnith — and huge congratulations to my labmate @LimpkinLauren for her poster about surprising changes in godwit migratory timing, and to Meredith and J.T. for their stellar talks about using drones and ARUs to monitor species of conservation concern.

Spent the week at #AFO100 with the birds and the bird people! Many highlights, among them presentations about the #migration #connectivity of whip-poor-wills, Swainson’s Warblers and Whimbrel. Also, I presented my first poster since undergrad on #shortbilleddowitcher !
ALT me standing next to a scientific poster titled “Dowitcher Deviations: How does a geographic barrier drive migratory strategy?”

NEW PAPER:
Annual schedule adjustment by a long-distance migratory bird, the Icelandic whimbrel

I could make a thread summarising the paper, but this figure does a better job.
Paper is not open access - please don't hesitate to DM for a copy.
