My research
focuses on the evolutionary responses of migratory birds in relation to
climate change. My aim is to understand why some species are adapting to
novel conditions while others are not, exploring the mechanisms underlying
such differences. Key issues under study are the relationships between
adaptive potential, phenotypic variation and control of life-cycle events (whether
environmental or endogenous). I’m exploring such processes using large-scale
approaches, both in time and space.
In turn,
understanding the adaptability of different species of migratory birds faced
with rapid environmental change will contribute to better evaluate their
long-term conservation prospects.
