Heard my first pied flycatcher of the year in Finland—its song was so different from the ones I heard last week in Catalonia. Turns out they really do sing differently across regions—and they learn it socially! Found out in (Rajan et al., 2024) doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... @samyuktharajan.bsky.social

Excited to see my third thesis chapter published! We used #museomics to investigate hybridisation in New Guinean honeyeaters 🐦 and found that two lineages likely fused back into one after initial divergence. 🔎🧬 Huge thanks to all collaborators who made this possible! doi.org/10.1111/mec....
