Pleased to be presenting at the ASAB Winter Meeting on “Individuals in Groups”, to be held at ZSL. I’m talking about pigeons, and will be on the Thursday. More details can be found here!

Our paper has just come out in The Journal of Experimental Biology! The paper, “Nesting Behaviour Influences Species-specific Across Avian Eggshells” was also featured in the News and Views section, Inside JEB (you can read the article by clicking the link)!

Our paper has been published in The Journal of Experimental Biology. This paper looks at many different species, and how eggs are adapted to their immediate nest environment. You can read the paper here!

My latest Outside JEB article is out. This one reports on a recent Current Biology paper about octopus arms. You can read the article, titled “Octopuses don’t get their arms in a twist!, here.

Had a fantastic time at Biologging 5. Thanks to those that organised it! Really enjoyed the two talks I gave, and a big thank you to Dr Emily Shephard and Dr Olivier Duriez for inviting me to talk in their Flight Symposium. Look forward to finishing the accompanying paper. 

Our cuckoo paper has been published in Journal of Zoology. We got the front cover too! The excellent photo showing the slightly larger cuckoo egg hatching first is courtesy of co-author Dr Tomas Grim. You can read the paper here!

A paper we published in Functional Ecology has been featured in the BBC News. The story can be read here, and is based on our paper titled “First Light for Avian Embryos” (click the link to read the full paper).

I recently published a paper in the Careers section of the journal Science, with Dr Stephanie Pierce (Harvard University) which talks about sharing data safety. The piece, titles “Who’s Looking at your Data?”, can be found here!.

Our paper on V formation flight has been published in Nature. Check out our Ibis on the front cover of the issue (thanks to the Waldrappteam for photos and general involvement). A great News and Views was included and can be found here, and a documentary was filmed by the Nature team, and can be watched here. Lastly, here’s a link to the actual paper, Upwash exploitation and downwash avoidance by flap phasing in ibis formation flight. You can read more about the project on the RVC website here.
