Main Focus
Variation in
environmental factors is particularly important for natural populations since
it can have both direct and indirect (i.e., through maternal effects) impacts
on individuals, thus affecting their fitness. I am interested in understanding
how individuals cope with environmental changes by studying the interaction of
glucocorticoids, oxidative stress and telomere dynamics in a wild population of
great tits (Parus major). I use both observational and experimental
methods to determine how environmental conditions affect the mother’s
physiology, and how this condition affect offspring phenotype.
