Dr Steve Portugal, Animal Behaviour and Physiology

Thrilled to welcome new PhD students Jenny Cantlay (below, left) and Stephanie McClelland (below, right) to the lab, both funded by the London NERC DTP. Jenny is a CASE Studentship with the RSPB, and we will be working with Rory Crawford, Alex Bond and Graham Martin, all about avian vision and sensory ecology. Stephanie will be studying the physiology behind avian brood parasitism, and we will be working with Francisco Ubeda, Claire Spottiswoode and Christina Riehl, and a host of other cuckoo experts. Congratulations also to Rosa Gleave who starts on the laughingthrush project in April, with Sam Turvey and Sarah Papworth as primary supervisors.
