🔈New study! Microplastics found in 62% of White-throated Dipper broods in Scotland & Basque Country. No body condition effects detected. Led by @cmartin3.bsky.social @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk @aranzadiornito.bsky.social 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #Ornithology🐦 #Microplastics #Freshwater💧

(2/3) During autumn stopover at Helgoland, migratory Eurasian Blackbirds showed higher plasma peptide YY (PYY) than residents, possibly reflecting increased or differential foraging. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🧬 Excited to present some of our recent research on 🐦‍⬛: (1/3) Contrary to expectations, migratory Eurasian blackbirds had longer telomeres than residents at a major stopover (Helgoland), despite similar mitochondrial DNA copy numbers 🔗 #OpenAccess nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Just landed here and fresh back from another Thrush Autumn Field-season on Helgoland 🐦! Exploring the bioenergetics of avian migration 👨‍🔬 Big thanks to the awesome collaboration with @MPI_animalbehav! #BirdMigration #Physiology #ornithology
