None of this would have been possible without the over 1,700 community scientists that used SolarBird. From Mexico to Canada, those observations formed the foundation of this project and turned it into a continental-scale collaboration!

Total solar eclipse triggers dawn behavior in birds: Insights from acoustic recordings and community science
On 8 April 2024, a total solar eclipse disrupted light-dark cycles for North American birds during the lead-up to spring reproduction. Compiling more than 10,000 community observations and artificial ...

As the Moon eclipsed the Sun on 8 April 2024, birds took note.

Merging community science, #MachineLearning, and a continent-wide natural experiment, researchers in Science reveal the immediate effects of light disruption on bird behavior. https://scim.ag/48oTmNO

I can’t think of a better reason to finally join Bluesky - my first first-authored paper is out! It being published in @science.org is surreal. This was a community effort in every sense, led by an incredible team with @rosvall-lab.bsky.social @mathcancer.bsky.social @juncowren.bsky.social
As the Moon eclipsed the Sun on 8 April 2024, birds took note.

Leveraging nature’s own experiment, scientists and the public joined forces to show how different species responded to sudden midafternoon darkness followed by a new “dawn.” Learn more this week in Science: https://scim.ag/48WbhLL

Today we collected data from the last bluebirds in our experiment this summer. Look at this floofball! And look at this team of incredible undergrads studying the floofballs! 🤩

Yes, a much-needed cleanse. My first bird pub is out! Huge thanks to our amazing co-authors!
In incubating females, an intense social challenge did not significantly affect expression of any genes in two socially-sensitive brain regions! Instead, lots of genes were correlated with aggressiveness. 🦜🧠
Anyone need a science-y timeline cleanse? Check out our new H&B paper on the transcriptomic correlates of maternal aggression in incubating tree swallows, with @emilylevy.bsky.social and @eliz-m-george.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.yh... #behavior #science #birds 🧪
