I am very happy to share our new article showing that glucocorticoids could be reliably measured in the saliva of wild birds!
Hopefully this will bring a new option to the toolbox of people interested in stress hormones or glucocorticoids in general :)

Looking for a PhD position in ecophysiology and behavioural ecology?
You may be interested in joining my group to study seabirds and habitat modifications (pollution, nesting site, density within colony). Details here: https://t.co/L37mvPrEAZ
Thanks for sharing this !
🚨 New results 🚨
Eating polluted fish during egg laying affects chicks mass in Common gull 🐣
We also show that personality traits can be measured and are related to fitness related traits in this species!
Let's read our last blog post for more info: https://t.co/EN0zpLTY0U
2nd good news of the week for our lab - we now have a professor in our group! Tuul Sepp was named the professor of animal ecology by the Tartu University senate on last Friday.
A brand new review paper from @RKreitsberg and our team has been published!
We discuss the effects of environmental pollution on the gene expression of seabirds, and suggest avenues for future studies.

How many albino seabirds have you ever seen?
For the Kakrarahu team it was a first! And our surprise was even bigger when we found a second albino chick!
Check out more about this with our last blog post https://t.co/ZwCWcvrTEM
Our new protocol this year on Kakrarahu islet will involve collection of behavioural data by performing flight initiation distance on common gulls...
