The photo of the Red-backed Shrike eggs taken by Klaudia will be featured on the cover of the latest issue of Behavioral Ecology & Sociobiology. Inside – our new article on sexually selected eggshell coloration hypothesis. Congratulations Klaudia!
Yesterday Klaudia defended her doctoral thesis. I am so proud of her. Congratulations!
Klaudia Szala went to the “Sensory Ecology” course held at Lund University in Sweden https://www.biology.lu.se/phd-studies/phd-courses/sensory-ecology . She is one of 40 doctoral students selected from among many applicants. Congratulations Klaudia!
The last article constituting Paweł’s PhD thesis just came out in Journal of Ornithology https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10336-022-02017-9.pdf ! Congratulations and keep fingers crossed!
Adrian and Paweł attended at IX Hole-Nesting Bird Conference at Oxford University (6-8 Sep 22) where they presented posters showing results from studies on our Great Tit population. Check Twitter for photos https://twitter.com/HNBirds2022 !
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.
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!
Congratulations to Paweł Podkowa for being awarded a „Power” MINIGRANT from the Faculty of Biology UAM. Paweł will investigate variation of light spectrum in natural and artificial cavities.
Congratulations to Klaudia Szala for being awarded three-month NAWA STER scholarship at University of Exeter (UK). Klaudia will join Sensory Ecology & Evolution Group led by Martin Stevens.
