Island environments drive unique evolutionary changes in birds. 🌴🐦
At #BOUasm25, we’re sharing our global 🌍 study using museum collections to uncover how living on islands influences the evolution of locomotion traits.

#IslandBirds #Ornithology

New work out from our @islandbirdproject.bsky.social team lead by @raquelponti.bsky.social

We will be presenting this at the upcoming conference #BOUasm25
"A day at the museum: collections-based
ornithological research in a changing world" on BlueSky, 18th of Nov.

Morphological Evolution in Island Birds Is Associated With More Terrestrial Lifestyles and a Lower Number of Raptors and Intra‐Family Competitors Aim Island biotas experience unique ecological conditions, such as isolation, small areas, or simplified communities that promote repeated patterns of evolution like changes in body size, that have ...

Con tristeza infinita despedimos a Jane Goodall, científica visionaria y referente mundial de la protección y la conservación de la naturaleza. Su ejemplo nos recuerda que el compromiso y la esperanza pueden cambiar el mundo. Gracias por toda una vida de dedicación, gracias por tanto. 🌿

Elevador da Glória: cabo de segurança partiu e originou acidente que provocou quinze mortes A manutenção deste elevador foi externalizada há dois anos, tendo os trabalhadores da Carris reportado “por várias vezes” uma “deficiente manutenção”, sabe o PÚBLICO.

O PÚBLICO sabe que a manutenção deste elevador foi externalizada há dois anos, tendo os trabalhadores da Carris reportado "por várias vezes" uma "deficiente manutenção por parte da empresa MAIN - Maintenance Engineering​", ao contrário "de quando o serviço estava internalizado"

How is this possible?

This ant can lay eggs of two different species, birthed by the same mother

Mechanisms underlying the loss of migratory behaviour in a long‐lived bird White stork populations in Iberia are undergoing a profound change in their migratory patterns, becoming mostly resident. By combining census data, GPS-tracking and genomic analyses, Andrade et al. l....

In the 1990s, >80% of Portuguese white storks were winter migrants. Thirty years on, a drastic shift in behavior means most individuals are now residents.

Our new paper @animalecology.bsky.social combines census data, GPS tracking, and genomics to understand the loss of migratory behavior in birds:

Graphic for International Women’s Day is divided into two halves. On the left, a white background features a simple line drawing of a rose with the text "FLOWERS ARE NICE" in purple uppercase letters. On the right, a purple background displays a bold white and yellow feminist symbol with the text "EQUAL RIGHTS ARE BETTER" in uppercase, with "EQUAL" highlighted in yellow. The European Commission logo is in the bottom right corner.
