NEW PAPER: Human disturbance and birds: recreational activities do not predict nest box occupancy in great tits, but individuals nesting in disturbed areas are more exploratory and have lower fitness.

Fig. 3 from the article: The level of disturbance of an occupied nest box related to the exploratory score of great tits occupying the nest box.

Lines and standard error are derived from the linear mixed model.

We found no effect of these #multistressors on any measure of feeding motivation. But we did find a strong effect of #animalpersonality variation, which was unlikely explained by body size or sex.

Congratulations Selin! So proud and a big thanks to @bou.org.uk and those who voted 🙏

Selin showed how slower exploring Red Knots departed earlier from artic breeding sites and were more likely to fly non-stop to the Wadden Sea than faster exploring individuals. #movementecology #animalpersonality

🐊 Behind sharp teeth, there’s more than instinct.
Animal personality describes consistent behavioural differences between individuals.
With EvOCRO, we study whether these differences affect how crocodiles learn and adapt. www.instagram.com/p/DTOG1hxFqGO/
