📢🦅We're looking for a MSc student to join our red kite team to work on the costs of partial migration 🦅📢 Please RT!

Out today in @Ecology_Letters and OA: "Natal legacies cause social and spatial marginalization during dispersal" by @BCatitti, Martin Grüebler @DamienFarine and myself. Happy to see this out! https://t.co/bLSXrg0GaH

Our new study by @switczak5 @urskorme Michael Schaub @SteffOpp Martin Grüebler in @AnimalEcology
shows that age, sex and body size influence whether Red Kites migrate or remain over winter in Switzerland! Read more here: https://t.co/LYmKng73ch Photo: @VSvanBergen

@FlOrgeret @EcographyJourna Nice paper out in @EcographyJourna on how habitat selection develops with age during natal dispersal by my postdoc @FlOrgeret and the red kite crew @ @Vogelwarte_scie ! Nice job Flo!

[Florian Orgeret @florgeret.bsky.social @FlOrgeret]

New in @EcographyJourna! We tracked red kites over 6 years to analyze changes in habitat preferences during natal dispersal. Findings highlight the need for life-stage considerations in species distribution models! #Movement #Dispersal #HabitatSelection https://t.co/qE98txDuGG

This is my debut first-author paper and I want to thank everyone who contributed to it being published, including many data contributors to AVONET https://t.co/m7O5chtI03 & Biofrag https://t.co/19aS2qhhRC (10/10)

We offer a #PhD position in #tropical #forest #ecology and restoration at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. You will conduct field work in several sites in the tropics (South America, Africa, Southeast Asia), using a drone and terrestrial Lidar.
Apply until 01/05

We are launching a new Master in #biodiversity #conservation.

We'll offer training in biology, but also law, economics, anthropology and psychology.

Because biodiversity loss is a complex issue that can not be tackled through a unique lens.

Important new study from Olivia Miller, Heather Grab, and @PovedaLab shows commercial bumble 🐝colonies placed in the field during spring 🍎 pollination attract and kill ~10 wild nest-searching queens on average.

I just get tired...Tired of hearing that 1.5°C is a "target" or "goal". IT IS NOT. It is a limit. The only real goal is 0°C. And not bad 1.5°C, when we LIKELY tip GIS, WAIS, Tropical Coral Reefs and Abrupt Boreal Permafrost, and get more floods, droughts, heat, disease, storms.
