Thanks for featuring our work! Across 6 Italian cities (220 point counts; breeding + winter), we find that established parakeets tend to expand the functional trait space of urban bird communities, consistent with filling underused niche space.
🐦 First Ustica Spring School was a success! Our inaugural event brought six researchers together to study #springmigration in real time, thousands of #migratorybirds passed through the island while we observed, learned, and discovered. #Ornithology at its finest in the Mediterranean!
