Forskningsintressen
Evolution av färgkommunikation hos fåglar: karotenoid-metabolism och adaptiv radiation.
I detta långsiktiga projekt studerar vi beteende-ekologi, fysiologiska mekanismer och evolutionär diversifiering av karotenoid-pigmentering hos afrikanska änkefåglar och biskopar (Euplectes spp.) och andra vävarfåglar (Ploceinae). För användning i fylogenetiskt jämförande studier av sociala och ekologiska selektionstryck, samt eventuella begränsningar av färgevolutionen, skattar vi även en molekylär fylogeni från mitokondrie-gener och nukleärt DNA.
Luftföroreningar och färgsignaler: karotenoider och färg som biomarkörer för oxidativ stress hos fåglar.
Vi undersöker hur karotenoid-nutrition och pigmentering kan tjäna som generella indikatorer på hälsa och miljöinducerad stress hos urbana och rurala populationer av talgoxe (Parus major).
