Experimental design was a strong predictor of heterogeneity.

We challenge the idea that aromatic compounds alone can explain the fitness benefits of green nest material. We found no overall evidence that green nest material lowers parasite or pathogens in the nest!

Results: Nests with green nest material addition had higher fitness outcomes.The results were robust to several sensitivity analyses. Heterogeneity was has, and we found a strong predictor of it.

New Pre-print Alert ‼️ Fascinated by bird nests? Me too!!

Some birds add fresh green plants to their nests, even after laying eggs! 🌿 Could this behaviour have benefits?

Why do birds use green nest material?

Talked about our project on birds nesting behaviour! I experimented with illustrating the slides and enjoyed it so much! What an amazing 6 days of exciting talks, posters and meeting friends old and new! It's a wrap #Behaviour2025

It was an amazing experience talking about all that makes me excited. Heart-warming feedback from the participants and my favourite is "Now I know what a meta-analysis is and everything it is not!" and it summarises what I wanted to achieve in 4.5 hours of this workshop! #Behaviour2025
