Professor of Wildlife Ecology @UDelaware using weather surveillance radar to learn about the ecology of flying animals.

As we celebrate birds this spring, it’s vital to remember how fatal artificial lights and skyglow can be to migrating birds. During #DarkSkyWeek, pledge to stand with us as we call on excess lighting to be turned off to help ensure birds have safe passage. https://t.co/JhbBsQcZg0

Showing the influence of light attraction #lightpollution on migratory birds. No other reason for some of those paths.

People ask me, "Hey unfashionable Bayesian man, how can I fit those rad generative network models from your course?" Well with @danielj_redhead @mindismoving we wrote a package to make it easy. Easier. Okay it's possible now. Open access and open source. https://t.co/1GOXbHA94k

[Wouter Vansteelant @WMGVs]

Fabulous study from the @IBED_UvA radar crew, led by @barthoekstra, showing massive disturbance of wintering birds by widespread New Year's Eve fireworks in the Netherlands.

Up to 10.000 more birds aloft than on normal winter nights, with disturbance up to 10km from fireworks!

New study with #UDel's @J_Buler shows artificial light at night is a top predictor of where large numbers of migrating birds are likely to stop and rest along the way. https://t.co/ifGwbSkl6t @UDcanr @NatureComms

[Fengyi Guo (Freda) @fyguo]

So, what about spring migration? Are there seasonal differences in hotspot distributions and habitat associations? How well-protected are those hotspots? Here are the answers to all the questions in our paper published today @CurrentBiology! 🧵1/8 https://t.co/9RzaAiwCgi

North America has lost 2.5 billion of its breeding migratory bird population since 1970. The vast majority of them are landbird species, including warblers, sparrows, thrushes, etc.

This could be an emerging story: Bird flu resurfaces in chicken, turkey flocks, in midst of fall migration

BREAKING: AOS will change all English bird names currently named after people within its geographic jurisdiction—one step in an effort to address past wrongs and engage more people in the enjoyment, protection and study of birds. https://t.co/EgGbux7TPR #BirdNames

This is a great summary of my book/course. Except there is no slapping. Plenty of art, but no slapping.

Seriously statistical workflow is a neglected topic and we (statisticians) owe researchers more

[Alex Lees @Alexander_Lees]

What do a hurricane, a moth and solar storms have in common? Answer - they have all likely contributed to an exceptional displacement of migrant North American birds in Europe this autumn 🧵1/17

[Chicago Bird Collision Monitors @BirdMonitors]

While Field Museum folks picked up ~1,000 birds at McCormick Place yesterday, our volunteers picked up another ~1,000 birds in the rest of the downtown area. Please listen to this interview with our director, Annette Prince. It is not just one building. https://t.co/mqUPnw4bCD

When #yards include nature, it's a win-win solution for both people and biodiversity.
We reviewed ecological/social benefits of yard restoration & show the footprint of US residential area goes beyond urban areas--much higher than previous estimates (30%) https://t.co/ymPrlyc1sy

From Heidi Trudell at Just Save Birds - Volunteers in Chicago found almost ONE THOUSAND DEAD BIRDS THIS MORNING AT A SINGLE BUILDING.

What if I told you that you can promote regional #biodiversity in your own backyard? Together w/ @forestservice we explored how any property owner can support biodiversity in their backyards by providing habitats for #birds + other species.
