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 conference 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.

Full programme at: bou.org.uk/conferences-an…
So, sit back and enjoy #BOU2022, Avian Reproduction.

All conference resources can be found at bou.org.uk/conferences-an… | #ornithology

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
