🐦Do some birds have #PrettyPrivilege? New paper! 💫We show that ~half the variation in research effort on 293 bird species in US+Canada is explained by just 3 factors: 1)visual appeal, 2)range size, & 3)# of universities w/in ranges. Here’s what we did: 🧵https://t.co/hGu8xYYb4x

@Delta ATL concourse T Skyclub exit line. No stairs. Small elevator. Flight boarding. 15 min wait to exit. This is not OK

@wku can parents get a text message about the fire tonight in PFT? Daughter is on the street with uncertainty about where to sleep tonight.

#NewPaperAlert! Stoked to share our pub on the migration phenology of songbirds tracked with the #MotusWTS network as they travel through North America in spring, now published in @AnimalEcology! https://t.co/cakWD2Nf3z 🧵

#TWS2023 | Interested in birds and/or how biologists choose their study species?

I'll be talking about bias in bird research TODAY from 1:30-1:45pm in the Conservation and Ecology of Birds I session (Breathitt--East Tower, 2nd Floor Ballroom Level)! Hope to see you there!

[DoD NR Program @DoDNatRes]

The answer is ~490 species! Plus 75 of those species are only found on DoD lands. Learn more about our NR program here: https://t.co/ROOnDgHi9z

Considering your next study system/species? Don’t forget to check your subconscious bias…what are we missing out on by only studying colorful/boldly patterned and geographically convenient species? This is a plug for studying drab&distant birds (looking @ u, Gray Vireos!) 🩶🤎🩶

✨New preprint! We report that nearly half of the variation in research effort on 293 bird species in the US+Canada is explained by just 3 factors: 1) visual appeal, 2) breeding range size, & 3) # of universities w/in that range. Here’s what we did:🧵

@Delta just another reason I fly Delta. Your employee Erica Waters, 480524, went well beyond out of the way to retrieve a lost item for me. Kudos to her for representing the Delta way.

@Hertz one person working the Gold booth at HNL with 20 people in line, then a holding area to wait for car. And only one exit open with a line wrapped around corner? You can do better....

@athleticsEHS $10 admission for a girls lacrosse game? Maybe you CAN charge that much, but should you? Really no surprise your concession stand hasn't had a single customer first half.

@Delta charging elite Diamond Medallions for a second international bag is a move in the wrong direction. Many disgruntled elites in ATL yesterday. Including me.

Introducing my favorite #GrayVireo of all time—045F! I banded her in 2017 during my 1st year of grad school. Since then, I’ve found her nests&tracked her fledglings every yr, tracked her migration with a geolocator, and have consecutive blood samples too. This bird is my hero🐦🥰

@Delta Anchorage with a great view of Denali. Next up Santiago on #Delta ?

[Rich Fischer @richfisc]

@Delta huge thumbs up for the pop up SkyClub at ANC. Make this one permanent!

Very cool paper on migrant bird dispersal (the black box of avian population ecology): Empirical tests of habitat selection theory reveal that conspecific density and patch quality, but not habitat amount, drive long‐distance immigration in a wild bird https://t.co/7nf722xFKj

Researchers identified military installations that likely contain — and don’t contain — habitat for secretive marsh birds, allowing the Department of Defense to plan for conservation and military readiness. https://t.co/Finui18asH
