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!
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.
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?
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
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.
@biologists.bsky.social
The day continues at #EOU26 with a session on bioacoustics
S. Sangeeth Sailas (@sangeeth-sailas.bsky.social), Richard Schnürmacher, Marcin Winiarek and Suhridam Roy, covering topics from vocal behaviour and signalling to acoustic communication in changing environments
The discussions continued #EOU26 with session on human–wildlife interactions
Patrycja Piotrowska on great tits across urban gradients, Marta Nartowicz on diet and anthropogenic particles, Aleksandra Syguła on UV films and bird collisions, and Leonardo Siddi on invasive plants and bird communities.
A great start to the sessions at #EOU26
Elia Sartoris on ecological focus areas and farmland birds, Johanne Burmeister on subarctic community change, David Tan (@mangrovepitta.bsky.social) on mangroves and reproductive isolation, and Basile Marteau on vernal pools and waterfowl breeding success.
