Hey who out there is attending #atbc2025 in Mexico? @theATBC I was thinking about organizing a symposium on tropical birds... #ornithology
We at @CIBIO_InBIO are advertising 3 phd fellowships for work in the Gulf of Guinea, including many options for ornithological projects. Aug 13th deadline. Students must either have Portuguese degrees or have converted their foreign degree(s).

The #Namba mountains in #Angola represent the last ~700 ha of Afromontaine forest in southwestern Africa, and they are imminently threatened by fire. Check out our article in NEE. go.nature.com/404eX76 #ornithology @RainforestTrust @PedroBeja12 @RicardoNature
Our commentary is just out in the journal #Science! Basically, the new and still-under-revision EU #Deforestation law falls short on emerging crops such as #cashew, which can cause immense loss of forest and #biodiversity.

Does anyone have one of those little rubber VHF antennas that they wouldn't mind loaning @__Biodiversity Initiative during Aug? @patrigues_birbs is tracking ant-following birds in Equatorial Guinea and the big metal antenna is pretty clunky when bush-wacking. #AOS
I gave a seminar for @TuftsUniversity last week - in layman's terms - that summarizes much of what @__Biodiversity Initiative has been up to in #cameroon and #equatorialguinea. bit.ly/3v0TH5f

#woodcreepers are just amazing in how they separate in niche space. Check out our new paper in #ornithology .
Sociality and morphology differentiate niches of 13 sympatric Amazonian woodcreepers (Dendrocolaptinae)
