Happy 2026! I am glad to have ended 2025 one step closer to finishing my PhD.
Published the first chapter of my thesis where we talk about the importance and ways of studying sex-specific effects while investigating shared mating traits.

New Pre-print Alert ‼️ Fascinated by bird nests? Me too!!
Some birds add fresh green plants to their nests, even after laying eggs! 🌿 Could this behaviour have benefits?

Why do birds use green nest material?
Meet our plenary speaker Kulbhushansingh Suryawanshi
Director of the India Program for the Snow Leopard Trust working on snow leopards and human-wildlife coexistence in the high Himalaya. His work focuses on the interactions between large carnivores, their wild prey, and farming communities.
In this study, led by @shreyadimri.bsky.social, we synthesize 28 experimental studies across 7 bird species to test whether green nest material truly boosts fitness.

New preprint on @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social : Why do birds bring fresh green plants to their nests? 🕊️
From courtship displays to parasite defense, many hypotheses have been proposed — but what does the evidence really say?

This will be my third SORTEE Conference in a row and cannot recommend it enough! #SORTEE2025
New in #ProcB - From policy to practice: Progress towards #data- and #code-sharing in ecology and evolution @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social @eivimeycook.bsky.social tell us more in our blog royalsociety.org/blog/2025/09...
📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB!
🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility.

Publication alert! ✨ Our recent paper in Ecology & Evolution addresses how to make conferences more inclusive. We collected observational and experimental data during Q&A sessions at the Behaviour 2023 congress hosted by Bielefeld University, and circulated a survey among conference attendees [1/4]
We’re offering a fully funded 4 yr PhD position to work on Sexual selection in complex environments at the @uv.es. Co-supervised by @dbergerbiol.bsky.social. Find details below 👇
In 2023, we conducted a study during an international conference in Bielefeld to investigate patterns of inequality at the conference through Q&A sessions and an extensive post-conference survey. The study is finally out in Ecology & Evolution:

In our latest preprint, we showcase how to use a phylogenetic meta-analysis of variance to test evolutionary hypotheses across species.
We collected data for 172 birds (314 populations) to test patterns of stabilising selection and canalisation for wing length.
