1/7 Variation between individuals is important as it determines how adaptable to change a population might be. Even generalist spp are often comprised of specialist individuals, but specialisation is often only studied across single traits which is limiting.

1/ We are delighted to have @judyshamounb.bsky.social deliver the Alfred Newton Lecture at #BOU2025 Frontiers in Ornithology

Judy's research focuses on understanding movement ecology in birds 🧵

Good to be back at the annual in-person @bou.org.uk conference- 2025 theme "Frontiers in Ornithology"- timely for me having started using movement tech for my pied fly study. Great to kick off with @judyshamounb.bsky.social giving an overview of how movement ecology tech has advanced over 40 years.

Outstanding start to #BOU2025 with a fascinating Alfred Newton lecture from @judyshamounb.bsky.social, on the amazing knowledge of bird movement and behaviour we have gained from tracking technologies.

First time in the UK and I’m really happy to have met so many people working on fascinating things #BOU2025

🧵1/7 What do massive insect crashes mean for insectivorous birds? And can aquatic habitats help?

Today at #BOU2025 I'm exploring how aquatic habitats might help to buffer declining insectivore populations, using the Spotted Flycatcher as an example.

🧵1/5 Freshwater ecosystems are among the most diverse and threatened, with 22% species 📉 , including the White-throated dipper.

I'm presenting at #BOU2025 today looking at environmental factors influencing freshwater system's declines using dippers as model species.

Global warming is leading to more frequent periods of extremely high temperatures. Understanding individual behavioural responses across temperature gradients can help identify and design measures that enable species to cope with extremes temperatures, aiding their conservation.

Comparing the human observer with passive accoustic monitoring. Great thread and talk at #BOU2025 by @simongillings.bsky.social
Couple of blogs about acoustic monitoring for waders:

Hello! I'm a 3rd year PhD student at Newcastle University attending the #BOU2025 conference. Today I will be talking about my research 'Exploring Grey Heron DNA transportation through lake sediment in a spatiotemporal analysis using ddPCR'.

#ExtinctInTheWild (EW) species are some of the most at risk in the world, existing only in human care. I’m a PhD student at @zslofficial.bsky.social and @ucl-c4ia.bsky.social studying how time spent in human care may affect EW bird recovery #BOU2025 #Ornithology #ConservationScience 🌍 🦤 🧪 1/6

The Anthropocene is characterised by:

⚠️ biodiversity declines
⚠️ extinction of experience
⚠️ declining wellbeing

At #BOU2025, I'm talking about how it may be possible to address all 3 challenges

Day 1 of the @bou.org.uk Frontiers in #Ornithology conference is underway. Benjamin Van Doren @illinoispress.bsky.social presents a recent paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social on migration sociality & its potential role in migratory decision making + mediating collision risk in urban areas. #BOU2025

What a great few days at #BOU2025. Loads of interesting & inclusive science, & a really supportive & friendly bunch of people. A great place to give the first talk of my PhD on #FalklandsShags & delighted to have been highly commended for my Bluesky thread 👇🏼
