Parental Strategies

We look into mechanisms that shape parental behaviors in birds. For example we study the effect of brood size and birds’ age on parental strategies. We also ask how parental behaviors affect offspring survival and offspring sex ratio at the time of leaving the nest. We determine how environmental conditions, including availability of food, temperature, and rainfall, affect parental food provisioning, as well as growth and mortality of young birds.
