Our new paper on the cover of PNAS, led by Anderson Bueno and Chase Mendenhall, shows that that terrestrial matrices and higher nearby tree cover reduce bird extirpations and boost species richness in forest remnants #ornithology www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🪶🌍
New paper in Animal Behaviour:
After centuries of debate, we finally have direct evidence that common cuckoos use different egg-laying tactics 🥚

Happy to see this one out!
Not only for the science, but because it was the first project we led as a group.
This paper helped us establish a collaborative culture and good relationships, shaping how we want to work together in the future.
I feel lucky to work with this bunch!

Honored to have had the chance to visit Oxford last week (after a few days in Liverpool beforehand!). I really enjoyed meeting so many great people and sharing ideas on bird migration. I hope you enjoyed the presentation, and stay tuned for upcoming results on vagrants and bird migration! 🪶
