Arguably the main limitation of #geolocators: How to maximize retrieval and optimize the deployment field work?

NEW PAPER: Migration routes and timing of European Nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) breeding in eastern Mongolia via Journal of Ornithology https://t.co/kjqyrBg0LC @MichielLat @rafnuss

[Ruben Evens @RevNJ]

Update: @MichielLat has earned himself a “bakske Karmeliet”. No GPS logger, but an activity logger containing two years of flight activity, pressure, temperature and light data!! @Vogelwarte_scie

What an amazing day 1 of #irac2022 talks about bats, birds, insects, AI, conservation, phenology, biodiversity, the interdisciplinary field of #radar #aerorcology @globam_net @BiodiversaPlus

[Silke Bauer @silke_bauer]

#weather #radar can be an immensely useful tool in #biodiversity monitoring. With the right #data infrastructure. See our piece in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society @ametsoc @BiodiversaPlus @globam_net @enram_network

[Joanna Wong @jo_wng]

Using wet activity & light data from #geolocators, our new #ArcticTern paper shows individual terns use varied migration strategies🌎Larger terns used more direct routes, and 1 individual even stopped on land for 8 days!🏖️ Read more here😎: https://t.co/jWbLwQJCl0 @AugerMethe

Gone with the wind: How do small birds migrate to the wintering grounds? A new method published in @MethodsEcolEvol can accurately estimate their most likely route. https://t.co/Bm2kRSSPsg

Great to learn about biologging from different fields at #BLS7Hawaii this week! In my talk I share new method integrating atmospheric pressure to track light-level #geolocators more accurately @FelixLiechti @mathieuGravey @vogelwarte_ch @arochakenya

Out today in @RSocPublishing, our collaborative effort to understand how migratory land birds accomplish long-distance sea-crossing. Spoiler: They depend on wind AND uplift. @safilabmpi @MPI_animalbehav https://t.co/5TzMD8OIsn

[A Rocha Kenya @arochakenya]

Great rejoicing at retrapping our THIRD Red-capped Robin Chat with a #geolocator, 1 of 15 deployed last year! 20% recovery rate so far & 2+ months left to trap more. Sent the first ones back last week to @Vogelwarte_scie for downloading of #data. Very excited to hear results!

[Joanna Wong @jo_wng]

huge thanks to @SMBC @UBCoceans @AcadiaU @eccc_news @BirdLifeMarine for making this research possible, field techs @giholmes91, and all collaborators @S_Lisovski @needmarine @MarkMalloryLab @AugerMethe @3phalaropes @averynagym !🙌

[Silke Bauer @silke_bauer]

How many birds take off, land or are in the air over the year? When and where are they moving through Europe? This paper by @rafnuss within @BiodivERsA3-funded @globam_net answers these questions and sets the basis for a lot of spin-off research!

[Raphaël Nussbaumer @rafnuss]

This is quite a special paper for me as it combines elements from my MSc in #hydrology, my PhD in #geostat and my passion for finding migrant #birds on the ground!
