Today’s #ORNITHOLODAY is all about #eggs! #oology #ornithology #teameggpic.twitter.com/6BkZmQd3IN
We’ll be delivering dozens of amazing egg facts throughout the day (08:00-15:00 UTC) #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
We’ll also be talking about our research on why eggs fail - including demos of how to examine unhatched eggs live from our @sheffieldAPS lab! #ORNITHOLODAY #teameggpic.twitter.com/u4EiHBJHJz
All our tweets will have the hashtags #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg so you can follow us throughout the day for lots of #ornithology & #oology fun!
We’re happy to answer any questions you have throughout the day, & feel free to follow our personal accounts if you want to keep up with our work in the future: @HemmingsNicola1 @fay_morland @kikaB8 @Belfast_Ash9 #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
First up it’s me, Dr Nicola Hemmings @HemmingsNicola1. I’m a @royalsociety Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow @sheffieldAPS studying bird reproductive behaviour & physiology. I’m particularly interested in the causes of hatching failure in birds #ORNITHOLODAY #teameggpic.twitter.com/driVycIV5c
I’m also mum of two baby girls, who are already starting to develop their ornithological identification skills #ORNITHOLODAY #teameggpic.twitter.com/MeRyMqLg9X
My @sheffieldAPS group includes two PhD students, @fay_morland & Duncan Jackson, @kassersohn who recently completed her Masters & starts her PhD in Sept, research technician Paul Richards, & post-doctoral researcher @JL_Savage #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
Find out more about my team & what we all do here https://nicolahemmings.wordpress.com/people/ #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
I also co-supervise PhD student @Belfast_Ash9 in collaboration with @ZSLScience Research Fellow Dr Patricia Brekke @kikaB8, who I’ll hand over to next! #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
Hi I’m Dr Patricia Brekke (@KikaB8), I am a research fellow in conservation biology @ZSLScience. Fascinated by the natural world and how to preserve it. @OfficialZSL #ORNITHOLODAY #teameggpic.twitter.com/L745nlcaLe
I apply evolutionary genetics concepts and tools to conservation issues. @KikaB8 @OfficialZSL @ZSLScience #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg #ornithology #conservation
My main model system is an amazing NZ bird called the hihi or stitchbird. I have been studying this little “ray of sunshine” for 15 years. @KikaB8 @OfficialZSL @ZSLScience #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
Hihi have high levels of hatching failure ~ third of their eggs fail to hatch. @KikaB8 @OfficialZSL @ZSLScience #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
When you have only a few thousand of these incredible birds left in the world EVERY egg counts! @KikaB8 @OfficialZSL @ZSLScience #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg #conservation
Hihi were once common in NZ but only one natural population left. Seven reintroduced pops have been established as part of its recovery program. @hihinews @KikaB8 @OfficialZSL @ZSLScience #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg Image credit: ZSLpic.twitter.com/3qdpGSUgq6
Also contributing to the #teamegg #ornitholoday today is @fay_morland, @royalsociety funded PhD student @sheffieldAPS #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
Hello! I’m Fay @fay_morland and I’m in the 1st year of my @royalsociety funded PhD project with @HemmingsNicola1 & @KikaB8 at @sheffieldAPS & @ZSLscience on hatching failure in the #hihi, a bird endemic to New Zealand. @hihinews #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg Photo: Eric Wilsonpic.twitter.com/7xVXyTmX7Q
#Hihi are a @IUCN vulnerable species and we hope that studying causes of hatching failure in this bird will help us improve #conservation strategies for the hihi and other threatened and inbred species #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
I use genetic, behavioural and environmental data to study causes of hatching failure. My #PhD has been full of learning new field & lab skills such as DNA extractions with @KikaB8, microscopy with @HemmingsNicola1 & bird ringing with @SorbyBreckRG #ORNITHOLODAY #teameggpic.twitter.com/aFTMJD3UtG
I can’t wait for my first field season on #TiritiriMatangi island working with @MhairiMcReady of @docgvtnz to get my head around the problems the #hihi face! But for now, find me in the lab examining formalin preserved hihi eggs #ORNITHOLODAY #teameggpic.twitter.com/neKnRgZtxe
Finally, @ZSLScience PhD student @Belfast_Ash9 will also be tweeting about her work throughout the day... #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
Hi! I’m Ashleigh @Belfast_Ash9, a 1st year @London_NERC_DTP PhD student @ZSLScience and @UCL looking at hatching failure in managed populations. As well as @KikaB8 & @HemmingsNicola1, I am supervised by Prof Francois Balloux (@BallouxFrancois) @UGI_at_UCL #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
As part of my research I am examining unhatched eggs from UK populations, including @OfficialZSL, to investigate why some eggs don’t hatch. I'll also be using long-term zoo records as part of an interspecific meta-analysis of hatching failure #ORNITHOLODAY #teameggpic.twitter.com/sUu5cvlU59
In May I spent time @sheffieldAPS meeting everyone & learning methods I will be using in my #PhD (more on those later!). I spent lots of time in the lab, had a session on bird ringing, & enjoyed exploring Sheffield & the Peak District #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg Photo: @fay_morlandpic.twitter.com/JKEznoqhkT
In Sept I am travelling to New Zealand for fieldwork, visiting some of the fantastic conservation programmes there & collecting data on some of their amazing bird species, including kakī & tuturuatu with @testeeves & the #ConSERTeam, more on this later! #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
We’ll also introduce some other colleagues and collaborators later. Some are not on Twitter but have kindly provided information & images for us to share with you today! #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
Now a little about where we work, @sheffieldAPS & @ZSLScience - two fantastic places for studying #ornithology & #oology #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL, @officialZSL) is steeped in ornithological history. Charles Darwin became a Fellow here in 1837, donating most of his bird, nest and egg collections to the then museum of ZSL @ZSLLibrary #ORNITHOLODAY #teamegg
