#EOU26
Last weekend, we joined #EOU26 in Gdańsk, sharing insights and results from @thiemokarwinkel.bsky.social and @giovannasandretti.bsky.social, with travel support from the @dornitholges.bsky.social
Great atmosphere with lots of discussions and exchanges!
Session 8 at #EOU26 focused on biologging

Thiemo Karwinkel, Susan Ellen McKinlay, Giovanna Sandretti da Silva, Ryan Boswarthick and Trevor MacLaurin on tracking movements, flight behaviour, survival, and tag effects.

A lot of insight from these approaches—what stood out to you?

Great experience at the @eoufledglings.bsky.social meeting in Gdańsk #EOU26, presenting my research on seasonal changes in prolactin levels in magnificent frigatebirds and how mercury-induced disruption of this parental-care hormone may contribute to the emergence of disease outbreaks

A huge thank you to all organisers, volunteers, presenters, poster contributors, and participants for making #EOU26 such a great conference! 🐦

Enjoy the rest of your time in Gdańsk, and have a safe journey home—no matter how far you’re travelling!

Last but not least, Session 9 at #EOU26 on interspecific relationships and predation

Rowan Kuminski, Eliska Kucerova, and Johanka Bláhová on predation, anti-predator behaviour, and host–parasite interactions.

A strong final session to wrap up the conference.

A fascinating plenary at #EOU26 by Miriam Liedvogel (@genmig.bsky.social)

Uncovering the mysteries of migration through work on blackcaps, and ending with an important reminder: the need for outreach and communication beyond academia, especially with children.

Inspiring on many levels.

Aleksandra, Marta and Weronika presented results of our research regarding microplastics, bird-glass collisions and birdsong amplitude at #EOU26 conference in Gdańsk!

Yesterday, I presented my internship project at @eoufledglings.bsky.social where I looked what explains variations in lay dates in great tits. Many thanks to @dornitholges.bsky.social for supporting my poster with a travel grant! #EOU26 #ornithology

I was very happy to present the study we performed (a bit less about the emergency baby poster 🐣) that would not have been possible without the work of @justinedelautre.bsky.social @ankitha-jayanth.bsky.social @ckecz.bsky.social #lapwings #behaviour at #EOU26 @eoufledglings.bsky.social
@dillensegerg.bsky.social presents yet another massive work (unlike the poster size) on predation pressure and anti-predatory response of Northern Lapwing in relation to forest patches @eoufledglings.bsky.social @ckecz.bsky.social #Ornithology #birds 🐣🦃

A powerful plenary talk by Jérôme Fort at #EOU26 🐦

Highlighting the importance of bridging science and policy, and the need to turn knowledge into action.

An inspiring and timely reminder that our work as researchers can—and should—have real-world impact beyond academia.
