It was a great pleasure to present my work on the effects of ALAN (see here: doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...) on the predation of ground-based insects at @ecbb2026.bsky.social. Thanks for having me!

A male blackbird was ringed and deployed with a GPS tag in my own garden this morning for @gregoryeckhartt.bsky.social 's project monitoring their movements in urban landscapes! Happy to have been part of the process.
