- 🌿 New paper out in npj Urban Sustainability doi.org/10.1038/s429... 🐦 Urban bird diversity is strongly shaped by fine-scale habitat structure. Grass cover, small water bodies and intermediate vegetation complexity enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services, also for future scenarios! #urbanbirds
- Excited to present at the #EOU25! Our new #BiologicalConservation study shows how #mountainbirds shift upslope with #climatechange and how #protectedareas are suffering from these changes. Conservation at elevation matters more than ever! 🏔️🕊️ #ornithology #conservation @eounion.bsky.social
- Thank you for joining us at the symposium at the #EOU25! Truly inspiring to see how birds support our #mentalhealth and why building #sustainablecities where #people and #birds thrive together is so important! #urban #ornithology @eounion.bsky.social
- 🌆🕊️ #Birds in cities are not only ecological actors — they are companions, symbols, and neighbors. Our #symposium explores how nature and people shape each other in everyday life, enriching both #science and #society. Join us at #EOU2025 and discover new perspectives! #urbanbirds
- New study tests #landsparing vs. #landsharing in six Italian cities: #bird diversity declines with #urban density, while disservices rise. Sparing wins for forest birds—protect #urbangreenspaces at the fringe! Assandri et al. 2025 doi.org/10.1016/j.la...

- New study on #BirdConservationInternational shows how #snow and mud patches on #skipistes create key spring foraging spots for #birds but artificial snow poses ecological risks. As #climatechange reduces natural snow, sustainable mountain planning is more urgent than ever. 📄 doi.org/10.1017/S095...

- Just back from the Forum Nazionale della Biodiversità 2025 (NBFC) at Milano-Bicocca! We brought contributions on species distribution models, citizen science in cities, bioacoustics, fine-scale urban variables and the luxury effect, of course. 🌍🦋🎧 #urbanecology @birdlabtorino.bsky.social

- Reposted by Riccardo AlbaThis group photo of the c280 participants in the European Bird Census Council #BirdNumbers2025 in Riga will be a special memory of a superb conference. Wonderful to meet old friends, make new friends and hear about bird monitoring and research across Europe.

- @birdlabtorino.bsky.social is in Riga for the #EBCC, kicking things off with some pre-conference #birding! We brought three posters on our #research in urban and mountain #ecology — excited to share and discuss! #ornithology #birdnumbers @migrans.bsky.social

- My last #PhD chapter is published in #IBIS! #Avalanches support diverse bird communities, while #ski-pistes often reduce diversity above the #treeline. Sustainable piste management could help open-habitat #birds in a #climatechange scenario. Read more onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
