Very excited for what has been ~2 years of my life & involved collaborators from 6 continents. The Global #Alpine Breeding #Bird Dataset identifies 1310 species (!) & their ecological traits.

Yesterday @MountAllison university made a leading step towards making campus more #bird friendly by treating Barclays entrance with @FeatherFriendly stickers! Many thanks to everyone who helped me achieve this. Here’s to treating more windows on campus soon! 🐦
I’ve been waiting months to read this amazing book and now I can finally devour it! With such great names as editors, this book is a must for mountain (bird) lovers! #AlpineBirds#MountainConservation#MountainEcology@DanC_eco @AksuLehikoinen
I’m recruiting! Looking for 1-2 MS students to join my lab in the Department of Ecology at Montana State University and work on questions related to conservation and population genomics in birds. Thanks for spreading the word—details here: https://t.co/OxxrS8QYNr
This is probably the first ever #migration of a #swift Apus apus that is possible to follow on live view! Deployed by our team in NItaly some weeks ago. Thanks to @animaltracking for having the opportunity of realizing this pilot with 5 #Icarus 1.3g tags.
🚨ALERT!🚨 One of my technicians quit to be closer to family. I am in ASAP need of a great person who can excel at and enjoy working in the alpine, studying pikas and mountain goats. $18/hr, 40 hrs a week through mid-Sept. Send CV to [email protected]. Plz rt!
Pls retweet! @SusansScience is leading an analysis of species at risk legislation in provinces/territories. If anyone is an expert in subnational SAR legislation, in prairies and territories in particular, we'd love to chat.
Interesting new paper showing that birds in the Andes are disappearing from lower elevations, with prevalence 23–40% lower after 2005 than before, as expected from climate change projections https://t.co/fyKUbeZHlE
COMING SOON! Ecology & Conservation of Mountain Birds: A comprehensive guide to the state-of-the-art in global ornithological research at high elevation! Pre-order your copy here: https://t.co/gDIudlvaUA #ornithology
Why anyone would prefer eponyms over those connected with a bird's appearance, habitat or behaviour is beyond me. A negative impact on the birding community is a strawman fallacy and epitomizes gatekeeping. The defense of eponyms is becoming increasingly desperate.
