How 'inseparable' are partners? 📍🐦 Using fine-scale automated radiotracking we found that chirruping wedgebill breeding partners stick extremely close — they occupy almost identical spaces and follow each other continuously during AND after breeding. Check it out ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/behe...

Just got back from Ny-Ålesund, the northernmost town in the world, to catch and track Arctic terns for @seatrackscience.bsky.social in collaboration with @maartenloonen.bsky.social.

I love coming to this place, and I love the terns. They probably did not like me so much though...

🔊🔊 What's important in a duet? In a new paper, we tested whether duet coordination in pairs has a function in their territoriality, using fine-scale and coarse measures of duet coordination in response to playback in chirruping wedgebills.
