In the 1990s, >80% of Portuguese white storks were winter migrants. Thirty years on, a drastic shift in behavior means most individuals are now residents. Our new paper @animalecology.bsky.social combines census data, GPS tracking, and genomics to understand the loss of migratory behavior in birds:

📝 New paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social We show that beak and body shape of birds is constrained in trait space. Extreme morphologies reflect specialization on single physical tasks (i.e., to fly 🦅, swim 🦢 or walk 🦃, in the case of body). Link to the paper: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kiaC3QW8S...
