- Why are Procellariiform seabirds most diverse in the Southern Hemisphere? Our study found that wind patterns and time since evolutionary origin best explain the extratropical peak in breeding species richness of these remarkable seabirds. 🐦💨 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- The findings further highlight the importance of integrating ecological and evolutionary perspectives when exploring latitudinal diversity gradients, and show how the choice of phylogeny and species distribution data can shape our understanding of global biodiversity patterns.
- Doing lit review be like: These habitat preferences are closely linked to the predominant agricultural activity of the study area, which is characterized by a high density of dairy farms for the production of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Stone curlews seeks out real cheese 😏
- Reposted by Elize NgWe've just launched AviList! - the new unified global taxonomic checklist for the world's birds, developed through the Working Group on Avian Classification, including BirdLife, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, IOC and others @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social www.avilist.org
- Glad to have been able to contribute to this initiative! Efforts like this are important for making our scientific community more inclusive and accessible to everyone, regardless of language background. The guidelines have been uploaded to Figshare, please feel free to use and share lnkd.in/geipqBxk

- 【📢 Now available in Chinese and Japanese!】 We invite all shorebird practitioners to share their conservation efforts along the EAAF. Your insights are invaluable in understanding what works and what doesn’t. Contribute by completing our survey tinyurl.com/shorebirdsur...
- Call for input from shorebird practitioners to document conservation actions along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Your insights will help assess what actions works and what doesn’t! You may share your efforts via a survey tinyurl.com/shorebirdsur... or contacting elize.ng@uq.edu.au

- Seems like bluesky is now bustling! If anyone has starter packs for ornithology, population/evolutionary genetics, and conservation, please drop me an invite! Am still trying to figure out my way around here!

- It is probably not a coincidence that after a paper was accepted in a MDPI journal that the email used is now spammed with predatory journal submission requests
- Beautiful Firetail for the bird of the week 😎💁♀️

- "Galcial pace" best description for how slow things take effect or to be put in place. Best of all, it is somewhat relevant for use in my thesis 🤣
- Early bird catches, a bird? Superb Fairywren snuck into my office Please ignore my horribly messy desk
- Its already the 1st of November, where did the year went?! 😱
- 📢 NEW PAPER: Using genome wide loci to detect the shift in sources of Zosterops species in the illegal cagebird trade. Highlighting the application of genomic methods to trace and uncover illegal trade routes
- Interesting sight to see both Green and Eastern Rosellas feeding in the tree from my window's office. The latter has never been seen on campus before! A new campus ✅🦜
