🐦Do some birds have #PrettyPrivilege? New paper! 💫We show that ~half the variation in research effort on 293 bird species in US+Canada is explained by just 3 factors: 1)visual appeal, 2)range size, & 3)# of universities w/in ranges. Here’s what we did: 🧵royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

#NewPaperAlert! Stoked to share our pub on the migration phenology of songbirds tracked with the #MotusWTS network as they travel through North America in spring, now published in @AnimalEcology! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… 🧵

#TWS2023 | Interested in birds and/or how biologists choose their study species? I'll be talking about bias in bird research TODAY from 1:30-1:45pm in the Conservation and Ecology of Birds I session (Breathitt--East Tower, 2nd Floor Ballroom Level)! Hope to see you there!

The answer is ~490 species! Plus 75 of those species are only found on DoD lands. Learn more about our NR program here: denix.osd.mil/nr/resources/p…
Considering your next study system/species? Don’t forget to check your subconscious bias…what are we missing out on by only studying colorful/boldly patterned and geographically convenient species? This is a plug for studying drab&distant birds (looking @ u, Gray Vireos!) 🩶🤎🩶

✨New preprint! We report that nearly half of the variation in research effort on 293 bird species in the US+Canada is explained by just 3 factors: 1) visual appeal, 2) breeding range size, & 3) # of universities w/in that range. Here’s what we did:🧵 ➡️doi.org/10.1101/2023.10.26.5…

Introducing my favorite #GrayVireo of all time—045F! I banded her in 2017 during my 1st year of grad school. Since then, I’ve found her nests&tracked her fledglings every yr, tracked her migration with a geolocator, and have consecutive blood samples too. This bird is my hero🐦🥰

Very cool paper on migrant bird dispersal (the black box of avian population ecology): Empirical tests of habitat selection theory reveal that conspecific density and patch quality, but not habitat amount, drive long‐distance immigration in a wild bird onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Many people don’t know that DoD has a NR program😱 However, DoD manages ~25 million acres of land, air, and water resources! Do you know how many federally-listed plant and animal species are found on DoD lands?
