This Blue Tit would like your attention, briefly.

📷 @aintright.bsky.social
A plump Blue Tit perched on a rough tree trunk, its feathers puffed up against the cold. The bird’s yellow chest looks bright and round, with a deep blue cap and white face framed by a bold black eye stripe. Its small, serious expression gives it the air of a tiny guardian of the woods. It looks as though it’s just confidently appeared in your feed.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Surprise for my morning walk today: an old Citroën H van! It reminds me of my holidays in the Alps when I was a kid and the local grocer would come to the village once a week to sell his products. When I think that it was the main vehicle used by the French Police at the time!

@mark-carney.bsky.social you might want to take note of this. One of your nation building plans could be supporting research across Canada rather than another oil pipeline that contributes further to climate change.

New paper out in Behaviour.

We evaluated behavioural and physiological differences between sexes in two species of rodent (deer mice and red-backed voles). For these income-breeding rodents, reproductive stage only explains some of these differences.

New paper out now in Evolution, co-led with Dave Westneat!

Using long-term data on house sparrows, we find that quantity-quality tradeoffs near a local fitness ridge favor more or less canalized clutch size distributions in response to environmental variability.

Measuring selection on reaction norms: Lack’s principle and plasticity in clutch size
We applied a novel multivariate analysis to measure linear and nonlinear selection on components of a complex reaction norm that was expected to be shaped

Léon XIV irrite certains catholiques conservateurs
Depuis que les cloches ont sonné en mai pour le pape Léon XIV, le premier pontife américain a pesé ses mots, s’adressant à toutes les parties d’une Église divisée. Mais dans sa première exhortation apostolique, jeudi, il a commencé à se dévoiler. Certains conservateurs critiques de son prédécesseur s’inquiètent de ce qui leur semble être un autre « pape libéral ».

To Carney, "Elbows up" means buying American jets, building a pipeline to sell our oil to the US, joining a US missile defence system, opening our markets to more American dairy, and kissing the American president's ass at every opportunity.

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...
