🧬 New study! How do mitochondria change across life? We tracked mtDNAcn within Zebra finches and found early-life decline and links of mtDNAcn to late-life flight performance #Ornithology #Physiology #Mitochondria @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk @ifv-whv.bsky.social 🔗 royalsocietypublishing.org/rsbl/article...

Great experience at the @eoufledglings.bsky.social meeting in Gdańsk #EOU26, presenting my research on seasonal changes in prolactin levels in magnificent frigatebirds and how mercury-induced disruption of this parental-care hormone may contribute to the emergence of disease outbreaks

The first paper of my PhD is now out in STOTEN We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the endocrine-disrupting properties of Hg exposure in wild birds, using hormone concentrations as a proxy for endocrine status

Incredible experience last month, sampling the magnificent frigatebird colony of Saint Giles Island (Tobago) for the first time ever to gather information about how latitudinal differences in environmental stressors might be driving disease outbreaks

I had a great time contributing to the surveys of great skuas in Shetland. It is really sad to see the grim conclusions of the resulting study...
