And the star of the show: the Richard’s Pipit (Anthus richardi). We searched for the species along the Russian border, near where the birds that winter in Europe are breeding. Let’s see whether they all go east or west.

We also demonstrated greater between-individual variation in laying date in two urban areas.
We confirmed that birds lay eggs earlier in urban environments in four populations and revealed reduced phenological plasticity in more urbanized environments in two populations.
This paper is the result of a fantastic collaboration across five European cities: Montpellier, Paris, Antwerp, Malmö and Harjavalta 🤝 @annecharmantier.bsky.social @meganjthompson.bsky.social @lauragervais.bsky.social @umontpellier.bsky.social
Calling #WildlifeRescue centres across Europe!
Do you have data on #swifts? We’re studying how heatwaves affect rescued chicks, and we’d love to collaborate.

In our new paper, published yesterday, we use the long-term data set of Wytham Woods to show that great tits have maintained stable temperature at breeding despite the almost 2ºC increase in Spring temperature. w. E. Cole, C. Regan & @sheldonbirds.bsky.social Link -> www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Very happy to see this one published ! I had lots of fun participating to the adventure with an amazing group of scientists and friends.

➡️ Overall, urbanization was associated with earlier breeding and less plasticity, although the strength of these associations varied among cities, likely owing to variation in the intensity of urbanization, landscape connectivity and habitat composition.
