I am a behavioural ecologist studying how behavioural and morphological traits evolve, particularly in birds, across broad spatial and evolutionary scales.
My work combines phylogenetic comparative methods and evidence synthesis to investigate ecogeographical rules, correlated evolution among traits, and ecological and evolutionary variation across species.
Research interests: Behavioural ecology, Ecogeographical rules, Correlated trait evolution, Phylogenetic comparative methods, Evidence synthesis
