New OA paper: https://t.co/JnZpQuTXm2

🗺️ We mapped 16 anthropogenic threats to migratory birds across the Afro-Palaearctic.

🕊️ We used these to create composite species-specific threat scores for >100 bird sp and related these to the PECBMS population trends. 1/2

Only a few days left of early bird registration for #BOU2022 ‼️ Register for 3 days packed of #ornithology: Nests 🧺, eggs 🥚 and chicks 🐣, on Zoom and Twitter. Lots of fantastic keynotes, and #AlfredNewtonLecture by the amazing Prof Nick Davies about #cuckoo

[José A. Alves @_JoseAAlves_]

Early bird takes the worm, and a cheaper rate too...
Fantastic set of keynotes (eg @HemmingsNicola1 @AlbertPhillimo2 @donaldsonlynda1and) & other speakers lined up for this one - v. much looking forward to this event! #ornithology

Our new paper is out in @IBIS_journal Early View in its final form, in which we explore the effects of vegetation structure on nest predation rates of six wader species in Iceland.

Warmer spring > earlier grass growth > better nest concealment & earlier chicks.

OUR NEW STUDY published today in Biological Conservation shows that captive breeding cannot sustain migratory Asian #houbara without hunting controls.
