A proposal to loosen hunting regulations in Italy has been condemned by scientists, who say the legislation will sideline the role of science in important decisions affecting the country’s wildlife. scim.ag/4ywvGRi

Italian hunting bill will sideline science, critics say

New legislation would loosen regulations and reduce the role of an environmental research body in decisions affecting wildlife

🚨Preprint alert! 🚨What if your study animal doesn't know the landscape yet? Standard movement models such as SSA assume it does. In our new study we let it learn instead, and put "learner" against "omniscient" head to head (1/4) doi.org/10.64898/202...

Turns out simulations are the perfect excuse to include my dog as a study individual in a presentation! It was a pleasure to present our latest work on integrating learning into movement models at @isbe2026.bsky.social and discuss it with so many inspiring researchers. Stay tuned for the preprint 🐾

Out now! What do red kite parents do when food provisioning is covered? Our new study shows that good parenting is about more than just being on the nest. doi.org/10.1111/ibi.... Proud of this first senior authorship w/ @vsvanbergen.bsky.social @urskormann.bsky.social @vogelwarte.bsky.social

🚨Trade-offs across life history stages and social association types shape winter communal roosting in a long-lived raptor "Our study demonstrates how life-history trade-offs and pair bonds influence winter roosting in red kites" 📖Read the full paper ➡️ buff.ly/0JazKaB

Winter means.. communal roosts! 🦅🐦🦜 But why do birds form such roosts? In red kites, young single males are the most frequent visitors. Once paired, birds roost more solitarily, often together as a pair. 📢 Now online: tinyurl.tools/98e9279e @animalecology.bsky.social @vogelwarte.bsky.social

TWO papers just out in @royalsocietypublishing.org #biologyletters : 1) Red kites switched from scavenging along roads to foraging away from roads during the COVID-19 lockdowns. 2) Fishers synchronise heart rates when cooperating with dolphins, but only when in close proximity. 1/
