Now published! We examine how female competition shapes movement ecology. We provide the first genetic evidence of female philopatry and male-biased dispersal in a socially polyandrous bird species!

On 'Twitter', there's a video of a Black-tailed Godwit from East Anglia (UK) feeding in The Netherlands.
Has it moved?
Will it shortly cross the North Sea to Ouse/Nene Washes?

Philopatry (adults and chciks return to same breeding areas) is a blessing and a curse.
Conservationists know that (most) waders will nest in the same places.
Even if there is no productivity, birds don't move elsewhere.

New paper out! 🦈🥞📡
Using 4 years of acoustic tracking on 179 undulate skates (Raja undulata), we show that fine-scale movement traits (activity + space use) vary consistently among individuals but don’t align with broader philopatry patterns.👀

Individual Variation in Philopatry Is Unrelated to Activity and Space Use in the Undulate Skate Raja undulata
Consistent individual variation in fine-scale movement traits is unrelated to movements occurring at larger spatio-temporal scales in undulate skates (Raja undulata).
