The AEEG's aim is to understand how temperate and tropical passerine birds optimize their allocation in resources in growth, survival and reproduction. @ivb_cas
Songbird species that evolved high blood glucose levels do not suffer elevated oxidative stress costs.

Have you ever wondered why animals did not enter urban areas more frequently during the COVID-19 pandemic? Our research in @CommsBio shows that even in empty cities, the level of animal tolerance to humans remained the same as it was before the pandemic.

Geographic variation in baseline and stress-induced blood glucose levels in tropical and temperate birds supports a unique montane pace of life combinig slow life history with fast-paced physiology.

International study on avian tolerance towards human across open tropical ecosystems, led by colleagues from our working group, was published today in @NatureComms ! Congratulations!
(1/8) What factors influence #bird tolerance towards humans in open tropical ecosystems? I am delighted that work from our multinational team was published today in @NatureComms! @ivb_cas@fzpczu@science_charles@UCLAEEB Full story: https://t.co/QzyZBWHm36

Our team member, @birder158, collaborated with a large international initiative exploring language barriers in conservation science. Results of their effort were recently published in @naturesustainab. Congratulations!
Our research on 👅barriers in conservation science was published in @naturesustainab today! We show that non-English-language literature represents 2/3 of all references cited in national biodiversity reports. @ivb_cas@fzpczu

Costly investments in #sperm? Males producing large ejaculates tend to live shorter lives in sexually promiscuous barn swallows. New paper from the members of our team!

Are there parallels in how birds, machines, and humans learn to recognize bird vocalizations? Maybe. Teaching @MerlinBirdID to recognize birds by their sounds has been challenging for a variety of reasons.
Very pleased that our paper on recognition abilities of barn swallows got published in @SpringerANCO! We found that swallows are really good at sanitising their nest but probably not at defending themselves against conspecific brood parasitism. @animalcog

We are happy to share a recent work by our two members, @birder158 and @tom_alb1, exploring large-scale correlates of aerial displays in passerine #birds.

Telomere length is highly repeatable and shorter in individuals with more elaborate sexual ornamentation in a short-lived passerine: https://t.co/vd5CwrUVjv. Check out the new study by our team members, Tereza Kauzálová, @OldrichTomasek and @tom_alb1.
