Research interests
I am interested in a wide range of subjects within the fields of behavioural and evolutionary ecology, including breeding systems, brood parasitism, coevolution, signal evolution and communication. Current projects include:
- Coevolution between cuckoos and their hosts
- The impact of climate change on inter-specific interactions
- The evolution and functional significance of bird song
- The impact of extreme climatic events on breeding biology
- The ecology and conservation of forty-spotted pardalotes
- The ecology and evolution of female competitive traits
