Research
My research aims to understand the causes and evolutionary consequences of complex social behavior, using birds as a model group. Currently, I work on superb starlings, found in East Africa, and Florida scrub-jays, endemic to Florida (USA). Previously, I have studied vocal communication in herring gulls and fairywrens.
