I am a behavioural ecologist, studying the evolution of behavioural and morphological traits in birds across broad spatial and evolutionary scales.
My work examines how ecological factors have shaped these evolutionary patterns, using phylogenetic comparative and meta-analytic approaches. I am also interested in how ongoing climate change and human activities may influence them.
Research interests: Evolution, Phylogenetic comparative analysis, Meta-analytic methods
