Check out our latest review in @AvianBiology !
Regulatory basis of migratory behaviour: different paths to similar outcomes.

Thoughts that have been hovering above our heads for several years given our results in our phylloscopus system.

New paper out! Growing up, wall lizards undergo a UV-visible “awkward phase” (who doesn’t?) that we can’t see—but they can. These ontogenetic color changes may mediate juvenile–adult interactions by delaying the onset of adult social signals. #colsci

why don't we find a common genetic sequence for bird migratory behaviour? are genetic mechanisms the same across species?

Excited to share our latest paper on lizard contests and agonistic signals! Read on for a daydream on how being a lizard could be like, disguised as a discussion on the relative impact of static colour patches and behavioral displays in animal contests 🧵 academic.oup.com/beheco/arti…

El informe técnico sobre la necropsia de las ovejas muertas el 23 de enero en Aras de los Olmos (Valencia) indica que el tipo de heridas son “muy poco habituales en los ataques a ganado protagonizados por lobos". Así que lo + probable es que fueran perros.

Learning more about willow warbler migratory behavior from geolocators! :)

A estas alturas de la noche, lo que podemos decir es que la EXTREMA DERECHA, en su mejor momento en casi toda Europa, en España pierde votos y escaños. Casi 20.
Igual era eso la excepción ibérica.
Hoy, más que nunca, VIVA ESPAÑA.
