I am interested in the animal communication with a particular focus on the important role of singing behaviour in the ecology and evolution of songbirds. Bird song has a dual function and is used in both territory defence and mate choice. My research focuses on how birds interact vocally to determine the relative intra- and inter-sexual functions of various signalling strategies.
