New #OpenAccess in #BirdStudy Artificial nests differ from natural nests in predation rates and predator identity: important to study natural nests if possible. Are artificial nests suitable to study wader nest predation? A case study on wet grasslands: doi.org/10.1080/0006... #ornithology #waders

UAVs unveil the role of small scale vegetation structure on wader nest survival

In this study, we combine high-resolution vegetation structural metrics derived from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery with on-field wader nest survival monitoring. We show that the immediate veg...

[Please RT] Our collaborative project #BDBORS exploring the link between nesting phenology and substrate property, is still ongoing, with collected data in Asia and America. You monitor ground-nesting birds in tropics? Then consider joining us! Contact me :) #ornithology #birds #tropicalecology

Thrilled that my colleague Juan Milicich (Juani) got awarded the @waderstudy.bsky.social small grant! During our fieldwork in Salta, Argentina, we encountered the enigmatic Andean Lapwing. Juan will try to find out more about the migratory behaviour of this poorly understood shorebird species 📡🪽
