We face two potential missteps in ecophysiology: 1) measuring animals under socially unrealistic conditions & 2) extrapolating results to nature, where social dynamics alter trait expression, plasticity, & evolutionary outcomes. Our new commentary in @jexpbiol.bsky.social : doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

Inferring bird migration from bone isotopes and histology: A fossil‐friendly methodological framework
Bird seasonal migration is a remarkable biogeographic phenomenon, yet its deep-time origin(s) and evolutionary history remain poorly understood, with the bird fossil record largely overlooked. Thi...

Buy a parcel and help give mums and their children in our refuges their first Christmas of freedom.
When a child arrives at a refuge in the countdown to Christmas, they’re withdrawn and in shock.
