🏖️ The birds of Europe..
London, Printed by R. and J.E. Taylor, pub. by the author, 1837..

Illustration of a European Roller bird perched on a branch with pale green leaves. The bird features vibrant turquoise-blue plumage on its head, chest, and tail, with rich brown and deep blue feathers on its wings. The background is plain, highlighting the bird’s detailed coloration and delicate stance. The image, from an 1837 publication, showcases the Roller’s distinctive bright colors and sleek body, associated with beach and coastal habitats in Europe.

Extremelly happy that our project BirdRice was approved for funding! We will keep studying the relationships between #waterbirds and #ricefields while trying to solve human-wildlife conflicts.

Glossy ibis males are significantly larger than females across all biometrics evaluated, despite some overlap.

Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).

During the last days, 2 of our tagged Glossy ibis left Iberia to Morocco. "Giganta", the 2nd-year bird on the left, returned to Doñana 3 days after departing. "Fugas", the juvenile on the right, seems more confident to stay. No tagged birds in the UK for now!

In our new paper, we show that using ropes as nesting material (particularly baler twine) cause entanglement and mortality #WhiteStork nestlings. It's time to rethink our agricultural practices and materials!

In our new paper led by Ursula Heize, we show that >90% of #WhiteStork nests have anthropogenic materials (plastics, paper, etc). Ropes are particularly dangerous: ~12% of the chicks became entangled on ropes, particularly on baler twine!

An excellent PhD thesis. Birds don't understand borders, and the community of storks, ibis, gulls etc in the ricefields of the Tagus/Tajo delta is similar to that of the ricefields in Doñana, with similar conservation issues and agricultural conflicts
