Aerial Insectivore Science & Research Network

Tackling priority research questions, connecting researchers, and helping inform conservation actions, policies and programs relating to #aerialinsectivores

FIVE DAYS LEFT to the abstract deadline.

Not just nightjars, but anything related. Not just academics, but everyone involved in nightjar research.

We will have lots of discussion sessions, so please send us ideas for these, too. We'd love to hear from you!

[SELVA @selvaorgco]

¡BREAKING NEWS! New research suggests that migratory birds have modified their Neotropical flight chronology in the last six decades. #Paperdelmes More info here: https://t.co/TUeAjNsZ7a

It’s prime time to observe Common Nighthawks migrating through Ontario! Keep an eye out for them in the evenings, especially along lakeshores/peninsulas

JT Larkin at @UMassECo led a new study with co-authors looking at eastern whip-poor-will habitat associations across the eastern US, using >1250 ARUs! @OpenAcoustics @usfs_nrs #audiomoth #birds #ornithology #MachineLearning See the published paper here: https://t.co/vpE1WJ5fHA

[Ontario Nature @OntarioNature]

Chimney swifts cloud urban skylines in the evening in eastern Canada. But the birds are likely to become endangered if their food and dwellings aren’t protected.

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!! After 15 years of studying #nightjar, and finding more than 400 nests, one of our team members @RSchnurmacher found a three-egg nest! Fingers crossed it does not get predated or disturbed!

[Maritimes SwiftWatch @Mar_Swifts]

New paper -> @ConorTaff et al. exploring the effects of climate extremes during the breeding season on several bird species, including some #aerialinsectivores 👇

[Conor Taff @ConorTaff]

Excited that my new paper with Ryan Shipley is finally out today! We used 100 years of temperature data from 3,000+ weather stations and 300,000+ nest records to explore cold snaps and heatwaves during nesting for 24 common birds. https://t.co/4vRq1XdJIS

#nightjar people, we only have a few more spots available for our great annual conference. Want to share your #nightjar story, study results or crazy ideas? #ornithology #birding #migration #biologging #GNN

[Lucy Mitchell @lucyjayneryan]

Quick reminder to all those nightjar researchers/ fanatics!

Please sign up for and send in an abstract for our Global Nightjar Network annual conference in November!
Last year was so much fun with some incredible and inspiring research! I loved every minute of it.

[Yohay Wasserlauf @YohayW]

Wow! My first scientific paper just published at @SciReports !
A telemetry study shows that an endangered nocturnal avian species roosts in extremely dry habitats to avoid predation

#nightjar nights can be busy nowadays. Studying the impact of #skyglow on #behaviour requires trapping many individuals. Very fortunate to have such motivated helping hands. @MichielLat @UAntwerpen @FWOVlaanderen @natuurenbos @BiTE_UHasselt
