Project Details
Description
Climate change can act on population of birds and mammals in ways that are difficult to disentangle. New methods have emerged over the last couple of years that solve the problem of analysing selection of birth and death rates, and how these translate into demographic change, but there are very few populations where parentage and vital rates are sufficiently well-known for the techniques to be applied. Our long-term study of Malurus cyaneus involves one of the largest pedigrees and most detailed reproductive and demographic data sets ever assembled. We will investigate the impacts of climate change on sexual signalling and life history tactics in the species.
