Our new commentary rdcu.be/ftx6h in @natecoevo.nature.com written with folks from @inaturalist.bsky.social and @cornellbirds.bsky.social shows that use of AI to manipulate existing or create new wildlife images undermines the huge value of vast citizen science databases. 🌍🪰🪶 #Ornithology 🧵 1/10

🐦🌙 Happy to see this big collaborative paper out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We address a seemingly simple question using geolocator data collected across many species and individuals: how much of bird migration actually happens at night? www.cell.com/current-biol... A short🧵

An illustration for "Ornis" of BirdLife Switzerland. It shows the identification criteria of males of the three different species of "subalpine warblers" #birdart #birding #scientificillustration #birds

Critically endangered, the Antioquia Brushfinch is range-restricted to the northern Central Andes in Colombia. In 1971, this small bird was considered extinct but was thankfully rediscovered in 2018. Recent expeditions have found even more viable populations! birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/antbrf1

Happy to share our new paper published in @cp-iscience.bsky.social We deployed 300+ multi-sensor loggers across 17 species to investigate how different species adapt their flight strategies when crossing deserts and marine areas during migration. tinyurl.com/2c8y8xvf #ornithology #birds

Based on thousands of citizen-science observations across Italy, our study shows that many hunted game bird species 🐦 start their pre-breeding migration earlier than reported in the European Commission’s “Key Concepts Document” (KCD) 🇪🇺 www.researchgate.net/publication/...

🚨 First PhD chapter is out! My work thus far, with @andy2dobson.bsky.social We found that formerly common species have declined the fastest, on average. 📄 North American bird declines are driven by reductions in common species | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

North American bird declines are driven by reductions in common species
Declines in North American birds are driven not by rare species vanishing but by sharp losses among formerly common species.

Choosing between Cerrado and Chaco: Which corridor connected the Andean and Atlantic forest populations of the Buff-browed Foliage Gleaner?
Genetic study provides several lines of evidence for a Cerrado connection.

Coming soon! A mid-summer special BOW Discovery Webinar on AVILIST - the world's first unified global checklist of birds. Does this sound good? Would you like to join us? Stay tuned for more info. Target is late July. We'll do our best to make this during a globally friendly timeslot.

Millions of birds nest in the Arctic each year. But did you know they’ve been doing this since the Cretaceous? Can’t believe I finally get to share that our paper on the birds of the Prince Creek Formation is out in ‪@science.org (and on the cover)! 🧵 Art: Gabriel Ugueto ‪@serpenillus.bsky.social
