Biography

I am broadly interested in eco-evolutionary dynamics and life-history evolution, with a focus on reproductive strategies and parental care behaviour. My current research topics include:

  • The evolution of delayed dispersal and family dynamics
  • Trait variance under fluctuating conditions: plasticity, bet-hedging, or both?
  • Breeding biology of birds in arid and semi-arid zones: coping with harsh and unpredictable environments
