Ana Leitão & Raquel Ponti, from CIBIO-BIOPOLIS, will investigate bird evolution in insular environments. Their SIBECOL-funded project explores how reduced predation & stable climates shape sexual dimorphism in endemic species. @anavleitao.bsky.social @raquelponti.bsky.social #evolution #birdresearch

🐣 Bird chicks require long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to grow up healthy 💪. This #BirdResearch assesses barn swallow and purple martin's ability to synthesise their own long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, when fed the precursors.

My second PhD chapter has been accepted for an oral presentation at the 15th EOU Congress in Bangor, Wales! I’ll be presenting my research on the Mediterranean Gull. Excited to discuss about this rather chaotic species! #EOU2025 #Ornithology #BirdMigration #MediterraneanGull #PhD #BirdResearch

✅ More accurate assessments
✅ Better carcass recovery
✅ Stronger conservation action
A game-changer for wildlife research! #Conservation #WildlifeTracking #BirdResearch #Biologging #WildlifeCrime #LEAP

Hidden glow in owl feathers reveals biological differences Long-eared Owls have fluorescent feathers that glow under UV light. These hidden pigments vary by age, sex, and size.

"How does forest disturbance impact New Guinean birds? Krystof Korejs and colleagues have expanded ornithological coverage to the human-modified forests of Papua New Guinea. Picture: A man looking at the camera and smiling, and a woman holding a brown bird and looking at it.

They found that loss of forest connectivity is the most important factor endangering avian assemblages. Yet any form of anthropogenic disturbance leads to loss of bird species, highlighting the high vulnerability of New Guinean avifauna". Krystof Korejs et. al. "Bird species richness, assemblage density, and feeding guild composition in human-modified lowland rainforests of Papua New Guinea" (JFO, vol. 96, número 1)

Image reads: Call for abstracts and travel awards for our AFO 2025 conference in Ogden Utah is officially open. Information and application forms can be found on... 👉

the event's website, [which] is also live, with complete information on dates, travel, accommodation, birding hotspots, conference program, special events, and more! afonet.org/event/afo-2025

Official logo is ready, inspired in the emblematic Ogden Arch, the Wasatch Mountains (where Ogden is nested) and featuring a Wilson's Phalarope, a numerous species in the Salt Lake.

The event's official art also served as inspiration for the logo (a drawing depicts a wilson's phalarope swimming, with mountains in the background and two lillies). The wonderful pencil drawing was made by AFO councilor Natasza Fontaine, a very talented artist!

AFO will return to the western USA after 15 years. We'll be hosting a conference in Ogden, Utah, between July 29 and August 1, which promises to be one the best in years!

Call for abstracts and travel awards is open.
