My mini-review in JAB on brood parasite adaptation and speciation was recognized top-cited article for papers published in 2024. Thanks to @avianbiology.bsky.social for the ERC Mini review contest and this opportunity #broodparasite #speciation nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Obligate brood parasitism is a peculiar behaviour found in some bird species. The costs for their hosts can be high, generating selection for active defence strategies including foreign egg and chick....

New paper with @calonectris.bsky.social on Andean shorebirds phenology is out in Ecosphere @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social, where we combined citizen-science and field data to decipher nest timing of understudied species: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #shorebird #bird #PhDstudy
I was very happy to present the study we performed (a bit less about the emergency baby poster 🐣) that would not have been possible without the work of @justinedelautre.bsky.social @ankitha-jayanth.bsky.social @ckecz.bsky.social #lapwings #behaviour at #EOU26 @eoufledglings.bsky.social
New article in Oikos with a global review of annual survival for waders comparing estimation methods and phylogeny. Survival increases with body mass but decreases with migration distance and during past 40 years. Team led by @dillensegerg.bsky.social. #ornithology #waders doi.org/10.1002/oik....

The Andean Altiplano in South America represents a remarkable mountain ecosystem with unique wildlife. However, knowledge of breeding ecology for birds inhabiting Andean Altiplano is scarce, relying ...
Predation increases close to habitat edges, but how animals cope with local predation variations remained poorly studied. In a mosaic landscape, lapwings were compensating for increased nest predatio...
A PhD chapter that I'm very proud of is finally out in @ecol-evol.bsky.social!🦉
Using nestbox cameras from 4 countries, we explored interactive effects of habitat quality &weather on provisioning &prey composition 🪱🪲🐀in Little Owls -a rapidly declining farmland raptor.

We monitored parental food provisioning of Little Owls in four European countries with contrasting farmland structure using nestbox cameras and demonstrated that across all countries, provisioning ra...
In this blog post @dillensegerg.bsky.social discuss how forest patches can negatively affect ground nests in grassland species, and how lapwings mitigate this effect by being more aggressive when nesting near trees🌳 🌍
