The environment an animal grows up in can affect it for life, but it may affect females and males differently – check out the first results of my PhD research: academic.oup.com/beheco/artic... w/ @terryburke.bsky.social @hannahdugdale.bsky.social and @jj255.bsky.social ! (© Alfredo Sánchez-Tójar)

Parental age effects on offspring telomere length across vertebrates: a meta-analysis

Telomeres shorten with advancing age in numerous species, and shorter telomeres are linked to increased mortality risk. While parental age at conception can influence offspring telomere length, the ma...

This short observation was a great gateway to asking bigger questions (like @yuhengsun.bsky.social's paper on information in shearwater calls). It also again highlights how little we understand the nocturnal behaviour of otherwise well-studied birds. 6/6 🪶 (sadly I couldn't embed the .gif) #seabirds

The awesome @yuhengsun.bsky.social showed that manx shearwater calls are individual - meaning they could use them as names! Absolutely fantastic publication from a masters thesis! @jamiedunning.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We've had a paper published today in @avianbiology.bsky.social. We demonstrated that some elements of Manx shearwater calls can be used to identify individuals. Something long-suspected, but not tested. In future, this could be used to measure site fidelity or breeding group size. #ornithology
