Interested in behavioural ecology, colour signals and sensory ecology of birds. Doing research on brood parasitism of common cuckoos and barn swallows.

[Michal Šulc @BioSulc]

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: https://t.co/LxHwbxw5NS

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! 👏👍 https://t.co/sxX22Py1Mg

Want to know how divorce in birds is associated with rainfall? 💔🌧️ I wrote a piece (in non-scientific jargon!) about our recent paper in @AnimalEcology 👇👇. If you want to read the science-y version, see: https://t.co/ppfM0u5nQC @AgusBentlage @hannahdugdale @SeychellesWarb

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
