Welcome to #BOU2022, Avian Reproduction, the BOU’s 2022 annual conference .
Our three-day conference is on Zoom and on Twitter and is a genuinely low carbon even.
By making #BOU2022 virtual we've also taken it global and have expanded the event way beyond the UK-dominated attendance of an in-person conf with this Zoom conference having nearly 2x the delegates, 36% of whom are from outside the UK.
And not only are all the #BOU2022 Zoom presentations summarised here on Twitter, but you will also enjoy some Twitter-only presentations that aren't being presented on Zoom during the breaks of the Zoom conference.
#BOU2022 NOTICE ⚠
Remember to use the #BOU2022 tag when asking and replying to questions or commenting on presentations. Also, please try not to tweet over presentations. Ask Qs immediately after each presentation or ask during the next break. Thanks!
Ooops! Our fault - it should of course say #BOU2022 Avian Reproduction! Think I need to grab a coffee... Enjoy everyone😁 - Nat

Thank you and welcome – a wonderful honour to give this #BOU2022#AlfredNewtonLecture talk. A sight for a curious naturalist: why is this warbler apparently so silly? Or, how does the cuckoo get away with this?
The talk celebrates Alfred Newton, founder of the BOU in 1858, the year of Darwin and Wallace’s papers proposing the theory of natural selection. Newton was an immediate early fan.
Newton’s paper in 1869 suggested that egg-colour variation in different host-races of Common Cuckoos was a result of natural selection. He coined the term “gentes” (singular “gens”) for these host-races
