Epigenetic Potential and Dispersal Propensity in a Free‐Living Songbird: A Spatial and Temporal Approach Open
Natal dispersal is a key life history trait determining fitness and driving population dynamics, genetic structure, and species distributions. Despite existing evidence that not all phenotypes are equally likely to successfully establish i…

Sex‐Chromosome‐Dependent Ageing in Female Heterogametic Methylomes Open
Recent research in humans and both model and non‐model animals has shown that DNA methylation (DNAm), an epigenetic modification, is one of the mechanisms underlying the ageing process. DNAm‐based indices predict mortality and provide valu…

Inferences from epigenetic information in an ecological context: a case study of early-life environmental effects on DNA methylation in zebra finches Open
DNA methylation (DNAm) plays a key role in mediating phenotypic responses to environmental variation. Various approaches exist to link DNAm variation to phenotypes, ranging from single nucleotide resolution to the development of composite …

Long-term effects of early-life adversity on DNA methylation in zebra finches Open
Early-life experiences can have profound and long-lasting effects on adult phenotype and thereby Darwinian fitness, though the mechanisms driving these effects remain poorly understood. Epigenetic alterations, especially DNA methylation wh…

Advancing the mapping of vegetation structure in savannas using Sentinel‐1 imagery Open
Vegetation structure monitoring is important for the understanding and conservation of savanna ecosystems. Optical satellite imagery can be used to estimate canopy cover, but provides limited information about the structure of savannas, an…

From nest to eternal rest: molecular mechanisms underlying life-history variation in avian species Open
Following captive zebra finches and wild jackdaws from hatching until their natural death, this thesis aimed to elucidate how environmental, genetic, and epigenetic factors shape avian life history- the important stages of an organism’s li…

Begging costs rather than food received cause brood size effect on growth in zebra finches Open
Altricial species rely on parental provisioning for early-life sustenance, and a larger brood size leads to higher levels of competition between siblings for parental resources. Early-life stress can have severe and lifelong effects on Dar…

Inferring the chronological and biological age of individuals is fundamental to population ecology and our understanding of ageing itself, its evolution, and the biological processes that affect or even cause ageing. Epigenetic clocks base…

DNA methylation markers of age(ing) and other things in non-model organisms Open
An accurate inference of the chronological and biological age of individuals is fundamental to population ecology and our understanding of ageing itself, its evolution and the biological processes that affect or even cause ageing. In human…
