1/9 Are you one of those people who is always late? 🌐🐦 If a migratory bird starts late, does that delay follow it through the year, or can it get back on schedule? We asked this using tracking data from 2,324 birds of 83 species across six continents.🧵 Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Science meets art!🧪🖌 It is #birdtober and this is a great chance to advertise the exhibition of @co-la.bsky.social at the "Wattenmeer Besucherzentrum" in Wilhelmshaven. You will get a new view on both: birds and art ❤️🐦🦉🦜🎨 Make sure to visit & share ↘️ www.wattenmeer-besucherzentrum.de/sonderausste...

Our new paper analyzing complement resistance of marine Borrelia garinii isolates is out now in Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases! 🎉 We could show broad resistance to avian complement and some other unexpected results. Feel free to have a look to find out more! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

The first @egioxford.bsky.social seminar of the year this Friday - really looking forward to this one. This is live streamed: abstract and joining details ⬇️

Interested in the ecological consequences of gamebird releases? Join us for a 3.5-year PhD project @exeter.ac.uk and @uniexecec.bsky.social. This project will investigate how gamebird releases affect (a) tick abundance and tick-borne disease risk (Lyme disease), and (b) reptile populations.

The project is ideal for a student interested in combining fieldwork, molecular laboratory techniques, and statistical modelling. Apply here www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin..., deadline 23 October 2026. Project start in early 2027. 🌳🦠🧪🕷️🐍

Since 2 years I worked on my first exhibition! The vernissage at WattBZ Wilhelmshaven was wonderful. A special thanks goes to Klaus as the curator, who made a great jop in putting everything together, and to Peter Südbeck, @genmig.bsky.social and Dr. Köhler for the introduction and speaches!

Great project 💪 with @joewynnbirds.bsky.social @pauldufour80.bsky.social @genmig.bsky.social & many others! We study yellow-browed warblers in Europe: where from, where to, what happens in winter & spring – could a new migration route evolve? 2 birds sampled on Helgoland so far. #birdmigration

Overall, our work shows the ability of our brain to flexibly allocate resources to solve memory based tasks!

Science Slam is my favourite of all NWDUG events we organize. And Wilhelmshaven agrees. For the 4th year in a row the event, kindly supported by @sfb1372.bsky.social, was sold out. Slamming it for the @ifv-whv.bsky.social were @sonamkulkarni.bsky.social & Phillipp. They were amazing!

Excited to share my second published PhD chapter out now in Current Biology! @cellpress.bsky.social 🧵 below but tldr: birds are known to use the magnetic field to navigate. But is magnetism the whole story? We find that an amazing avian navigator doesn’t seem to rely on magnetic cues at all.
