Arguably the main limitation of #geolocators: How to maximize retrieval and optimize the deployment field work? @FelixLiechti @kirao_lennox @chw_jackson

New blog post by Raphaël Nussbaumer, lead author of a paper out now in the Journal of Field Ornithology: How ringing data can help improve geolocator studies. Visit our website now for the article & a link to the paper: https://t.co/2qq7dxfZzb | #ornithology #birdbanding #science

Update: @MichielLat has earned himself a “bakske Karmeliet”. No GPS logger, but an activity logger containing two years of flight activity, pressure, temperature and light data!! @Vogelwarte_scie

What an amazing day 1 of #irac2022 talks about bats, birds, insects, AI, conservation, phenology, biodiversity, the interdisciplinary field of #radar #aerorcology @globam_net @BiodiversaPlus

#weather #radar can be an immensely useful tool in #biodiversity monitoring. With the right #data infrastructure. See our piece in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society @ametsoc @BiodiversaPlus @globam_net @enram_network
A while ago we argued in Science for the importance of weather #radar data policies to take #biodiversity monitoring aspects into account. Now we have detailed what needs to change in a new paper in BAMS @ametsoc #EUMETNET @WMO #ornithology #radarscience

Using wet activity & light data from #geolocators, our new #ArcticTern paper shows individual terns use varied migration strategies🌎Larger terns used more direct routes, and 1 individual even stopped on land for 8 days!🏖️ Read more here😎: https://t.co/jWbLwQJCl0

Great to learn about biologging from different fields at #BLS7Hawaii this week! In my talk I share new method integrating atmospheric pressure to track light-level #geolocators more accurately @FelixLiechti @mathieuGravey @vogelwarte_ch @arochakenya

Out today in @RSocPublishing, our collaborative effort to understand how migratory land birds accomplish long-distance sea-crossing. Spoiler: They depend on wind AND uplift. @safilabmpi @MPI_animalbehav

Great rejoicing at retrapping our THIRD Red-capped Robin Chat with a #geolocator, 1 of 15 deployed last year! 20% recovery rate so far & 2+ months left to trap more. Sent the first ones back last week to @Vogelwarte_scie for downloading of #data. Very excited to hear results!

How many birds take off, land or are in the air over the year? When and where are they moving through Europe? This paper by @rafnuss within @BiodivERsA3-funded @globam_net answers these questions and sets the basis for a lot of spin-off research!
This is quite a special paper for me as it combines elements from my MSc in #hydrology, my PhD in #geostat and my passion for finding migrant #birds on the ground! https://t.co/JahxtZJa40 published in @RSocPublishing in #openaccess 👇Check the thread below👇 1/3 Background
