New article about brood overlaping
Our new article about unusual brood overlapping in which nestlings and eggs from consecutive broods occur simulaneously in the same nest. We presented data for Great Tit and performed a mini literature review as well.
New article in Ecology & Evolution!
Our new article in Ecology & Evolution just came out! We describe how to monitor nest box interior using out-of-the-shelf trail camera. The method Is very simple and very effective. We have been using it since 2015 and now I can’t imagine going to my wood without trail cameras. Using described set up we analyzed hours of egg laying and hatching in the Great Tit. Enjoy reading!
