We work together investigating the intersection of mitochondrial physiology, behaviour, and life history. (Thesis supervised in collaboration with Dr. Oscar Vedder)

We collaborate on investigating the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying migratory behaviour and performance.

We collaborate by integrating complementary approaches in various projects focused on songbirds, exploring differences in physiology and migratory behavior.

Pat was my postdoc advisor, and we continue to collaborate on exploring the mechanisms that link early-life conditions, later-life performance, and associated life history trade-offs.

We collaborate on diverse methods and ideas, integrating physiological mechanisms into the study of behaviour, ecology, and evolution.

We collaborate on investigating the variation in feather colouration and structure in response to anthropogenic stressors, specifically urbanisation and pollution.

We work together in different projects on the effects of anthropogenic stressors on wildlife populations, from telomeres to colouration.
