Thank you, Clemens! Thanks for the support and the kind words. We should catch up soon. Cheers!

Thank you so much! Really excited to join the team & to continue our work together advancing #MetaResearch & #OpenScience

To everyone interested in reliable, transparent & open science, make sure to follow @excelscior-era.bsky.social for updates on projects and collaborations! #ResearchIntegrity

All the open science knowledge and training I accumulated over the years, I did my best to apply it!

Thanks, Phil! I confirm it is indeed a really, really cool place.

To address this, we conducted a pre-registered #systematicreview and #metaanalysis of experiments testing Green Nest Material’s effect on avian fitness proxies 🐦

We synthesised 274 effect sizes from 28 studies on 7 species across 17 regions

Muchas gracias!

Thanks a lot, Eneko!

Huge thanks and congratulations to my PhD student & lead author @shreyadimri.bsky.social, her first first-author study!

💯 Exemplary work: rigorous, detailed, reproducible & insightful

🙏 Thanks also to Klaus Reinhold, all authors who shared data, & the @dfg.de for funding

⚠️ Limitations: high heterogeneity suggests low generality, potential small-study effects, and taxonomic bias (3 species dominate)

We share our pre-registration and all materials to support transparency and reproducibility:

The effect tended to be stronger when Green Nest Material was added continuously throughout nesting. However, experimental design was the strongest predictor, challenging the idea that aromatic compounds alone explain GNM’s fitness benefits

On average, nests with added Green Nest Material showed higher fitness estimates (statistically significant so only for SMDH). Results were robust to sensitivity analyses, yet heterogeneity was high.

GNM can enhance fitness, but its functional role remains unresolved

Thank you, Mark!

Yes, indeed. Thanks, Ana. I have been meaning to write to you for a while, and did not manage. We should catch up soon.
