Do you need another reason to come to #ExE2026 this summer? There are still spaces available on some of our fantastic #ExE2026 excursions, so do make sure to sign up for one at evoxeco.uk.
The breeding season 2026 has started, our 72nd breeding season!
This will be the first conference where we'll have a presence! We're very keen to learn what the evolutionary ecology community would like to see from an organisation representing it so please come along to our discussion session to tell us.
For UK folks in #Ecology and #Evolution, we are hosting a conference here in Cornwall! Great chance for a summer staycation June 29-July 3.
Plus, we've managed to make it affordable: £250 + £49/night for accommodation.

We have a new record 🚨 the warm month of march in the Netherlands had its effect on the first laying date of the Great tits! Breaking the record by two days the first egg date this year is 21st March. One blue tit went even beyond that and noted a first egg date on 19th of march! #breedingseason2026
