Our bird projects got funding from the Trond Mohn Foundation, the ASTI-UiT, the Dutch Research Council and the Birds New Zealand.
EvoLight Project
We use the recent expansion of great tits into the Arctic to study how fast populations adapt to novel light environments.
As part of this project we monitor the breeding success of a population of great tits in Tromsø. You can read more about it here.
Urban evolution
We used cities as a large scale experiment to study evolution of circadian clocks.
Bird clocks and chronotypes
More specific studies about variation in bird circadian clocks and chronotypes.
Seasonal timing
We study timing of seasonal events of the bird annual cycle, such as breeding, moult and migration.
Isotope ecology
Projects using museum specimens to study the feeding ecology of New Zealand birds – both of living and extinct species.
Systematics & Taxonomy
Studies to improve and clarify the taxonomy of known bird species, as well as description of entirely new species of birds.
