Happy Birthday to us! 🎉
The University of Glasgow is 575 years old today. We have been changing the world since 1451!
This year we will be celebrating the centuries of impact of UofG, while looking towards to the future, with our #TeamUofG community around the world.
#UofG575
Examples of anthropogenic materials within hedgehog nests observed during the study: (a) the nest of individual #366 primarily comprising a plastic bag, (b) stray miscellaneous plastic within the nest of #366, (c) duct tape within the nest of #366 (behind plastic bag), (d) location of the nest of #385 underneath a metal sheet, surrounded by rope and plastic, (e) anthropogenic material pulled from the nest of #385 (comprising foil, plastic wrappers and expanded polystyrene).
Our new paper by Katie Crawford @ljmuofficial.bsky.social is out! OA in @ecol-evol.bsky.social: From Leaves to Litter: Use of Anthropogenic #Nesting Materials in #Hibernation Nests of the European #Hedgehog

New paper! Does associating with their mother in the early postnatal period buffer offspring from the consequences of prenatal stress (glucocorticoids) in a facultatively social lizard? No! Instead, maternal CORT altered offspring social phenotype:

Hiring/Seeking a *permanent* programmer in ecological modelling at my lab @unibonn.bsky.social. We mechanistically model plant communities, island biogeography, species range dynamics, eco-evolutionary feedbacks, diversity gradients, tropical forests, vascular epiphytes. Pls rt! shorturl.at/Bzzdt
Offspring longevity for bighorn sheep at Ram Mountain, Alberta, Canada (1971-2013). Solid lines represent model predictions for female offspring under average female density conditions (results for male offspring are reported in Table 1). Shaded bands represent 95% confidence intervals while gray lines are modeled trends for individual mothers. (A) Offspring longevity as a function of maternal age at birth. (B) Offspring longevity as a function of maternal longevity, estimated by the age at last sighting
Marchand: compared to those born to a bighorn ewe when she's young, lambs born when she's old have shorter lives, wean fewer lambs. At any age, ewes that live longer have lambs that live longer and have higher reproductive success. url:https://academic.oup.com/beheco/article/36/4/araf046/8126721

Calling all dog owners!
We're currently conducting a research project at the University of Glasgow exploring how early social environments—such as staying with littermates or joining single- vs. multi-dog households—shape puppies' behaviour and stress resilience during their first year of life.

📄 Viva title: ‘Assessing the Impacts of Urbanisation and Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) on Avian Health using both meta-analysis and experimental methods.’💡🦜
Excited to share the latest publication from the group, which outlined how the bird brain detects light and the links to seasonal control of reproduction.
