Combining Individual‐Based Radio‐Tracking With Whole‐Genome Sequencing Data Reveals Candidate for Genetic Basis of Partial Migration in a Songbird Combining individual-based radio-tracking and whole-genome sequencing, we investigated the population genetics of a partial migratory songbird, the common blackbird. Using population genetic summary ...

Excited to share my first paper with the Liedvogel lab @genmig.bsky.social at @ifv-whv.bsky.social:
Together with @jpartecke.bsky.social from the @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social and many others, we looked at the genetics of partial migration in blackbirds onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Hi Erik, we use tags which send every 12 h a message which is used to estimate the location (provided by the SigFox network). Estimates precision depends on the number of gateways. Varies between less than a kilometre up to approximately 20 km. In addition we receive for every hour an acc value

3-year Postdoc Position

Join our team @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social and investigate the dynamics of seasonal songbird migration using biologging technologies

Birds of a feather don't always flock together To survive winter, when food and temperatures are low, animals can use strategies, such as hibernation or migration, to reduce the energy they burn. Animals of the same species generally use the same ...

My new Outside JEB article @jexpbiol.bsky.social where I highlight a new paper where Nils Lanek, Scott Yanco & colleagues from @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social, measured the energy expenditure in migratory & resident common blackbirds in Germany 🪶🧪🌎🐦

Migratory lifestyle carries no added overall energy cost in a partial migratory songbird - Nature Ecology & Evolution The energetic costs of seasonal bird migration are challenging to measure. Here bio-loggers paired with radio telemetry and energetic modelling show that blackbirds offset the energetic cost of migrat...
