Are you the less lucky of the co-first or co-last authors? @shougroup.bsky.social makes the case for changes to the way that equal contribution information is sent to indexing sites such as #PubMed.

Do you work with breeding shorebirds? Do you collect FID data? Do you have data already or collecting data this year?
We are seeking data contributors for a new project investigating the diversity of nest defence strategies across breeding shorebirds.
Get in touch if interested!

Just over a week left to apply for this PhD project (unfortunately UK students only). If you're interested then please get in touch!
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....

New paper: do GPS tags affect small shorebirds? In Kentish plovers, solar-powered devices showed no detectable effects on behaviour, reproduction, or short-term survival.

Claims that medical AI is improving care must be backed by appropriate evidence.
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🌳 🌍

Equal contribution designations (co-first and co-last authorship) is on the rise, yet this information is routinely lost, creating inequity in recognition and crediting. This Perspective calls for…
