Evolutionary and behavioural ecology of birds

University of Oxford

Department of Biology

Organisms face environments that change on multiple spatial and temporal scales. From the slow, decadal, pace of climate change, to short-term extreme climatic events, from major latitudinal gradients to sharp small-scale environmental gradients to the constant flux of social environments. Read more
