- New publication! 🚨 If you're looking for a paper on what great tits eat then this is for you! 🦋🐛🐞🪲🐦 We looked at variation in diet using DNA metabarcoding and found lots of differences between adult and young birds and between habitat types. @ucc.ie onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
- Many thanks to my co-authors John Quinn, Gabrielle Davidson @drgdavidson.bsky.social Michael Reichert @reichertfroglab.bsky.social and Jordan Cuff @jordancuff.bsky.social . Also remembering Bill Symondson who I really enjoyed working with and who would have been pleased to see this work out there.

- I didn't know they existed but I've just had a look at the website and oh my...!
- I remember Rebecca giving a seminar when I was in Penryn @universityofexeter.bsky.social on burying beetles and it was excellent. A very well deserved award. #ASABWinter2024
- Congratulations to the 2024 ASAB medal winner Rebbeca Kilner🏅 We award this medal annually for contributions to the science of animal behaviour, through teaching, writing, broadcasting, research or for work on behalf of the association. Any member can nominate candidates! #ASABWinter2024
- Second most studied species in the field is of course the great tit! 🐦 #bestbird #phdthrowback #ASABWinter2024
- We could be losing a lot of scientific evidence due to it being published in non-English languages. Also likely to be reflected for species with no English language evidence. An incredibly important topic from Tatsuya Amano. #ASABWinter2024
- Great talk from @cassandraraby.com on bringing the ASAB conferences online during the pandemic and their increase in accessibility. #ASABWinter2024
- A really important talk from Antica Culina on making research open and FAIR. #ASABWinter2024
- Great to be at my first winter ASAB. Really interesting plenary this morning on how researcher's perspectives influence our knowledge - particularly looking at females in evolutionary biology. #ASAB24
- Fascinating #ASABWinter2024 plenary talk this morning by Malin Ah-King, tracing the history of perception of females in evolutionary science. It took surprisingly long for researchers to discover active female sexual strategies♀️ Her book on the topic here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
