Sunday morning delight! Woodcock with her chicks feeding and brooding in front of our kitchen window. ☺️🪄✨

This year we spent long (and cold) nights out to capture #ruffs during peak #lekking. Each one ringed and fitted with a transmitter to help us track their movements and behavior. Thanks to the team for the effort and stamina it takes to pull this off 💤 @koivulakari.bsky.social @chorlnev.bsky.social

It's a year of #headstarting for #BalticDunlins! First chicks are hatching and many more are on the way. We're trying to recover the almost extinct population breeding in coastal meadows around the #BothnianBay. Pics by Gerrit Wehrenberg @koivulakari.bsky.social @vmpakanen.bsky.social

In large meadows, female ruffs prefer to place their nests close to male leks, even though these are not necessarily the safest locations available #ornithology (Hanna Algora, @chorlnev.bsky.social, @jellybb.bsky.social @vmpakanen.bsky.social et al: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Nests, Threats, and Leks: Nonrandom Distributions of Nests in Ruffs (Calidris pugnax)
This project investigates the nest distribution of the ruff (Calidris pugnax), an endangered shorebird. Using satellite imaging, we established a suitable breeding area and analyzed the factors influ....

I’m really pleased to see this study out recently in @jexpbiol.bsky.social, composed partly of an experiment I helped to develop and run in the field for my master’s thesis. 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

How a salt pan ant Cataglyphis fortis navigates artificially complex environments
Summary: The desert ant Cataglyphis fortis is adapted to the rather featureless saltpans of Tunisia. However, when facing artificially complex environments, the ants exhibit navigational strategies th...

PS, Schizomida do this too 🥰 So cute! (figure from bioone.org/journals/the...) #arthropods #arachnids #arachnida
A compound figure from a scientific paper, with both drawings and photographs of short-tailed whip scorpions carrying their brood on their opisthosoma. Some panels show eggs attached to the underside of the opisthosoma, and others show first-instar hatchlings encircling the raised body segment.

My good friends @jellybb.bsky.social and @rianbraig.bsky.social have finally both made it to Bluesky, so now it's time to re-share our passion-project paper from earlier this year! We looked at cool morphological trends over time in short-tailed whip scorpions! sjpp.springeropen.com/articles/10....
A figure from a scientific publication with a geological time scale at the bottom (Left to right, Carboniferous to today). It shows morphological size trends in representatives of Schizomida, as well as an outgroup species and a related species, over geological time. While the outgroup and related species show miniturization and diversification from the Carboniferous to the Cretaceous, representatives of Schizomida show a secondary size cain from the Cretaceous to the modern day.
