Ana Leitão @anavleitao.bsky.social is a MSCA postdoctoral researcher at #BIOPOLIS. Her work has been focused in understanding the evolution of elaborate (or lack of) traits such as plumage colors and bird song, in both female and male birds. 🪶🐦

We study evolution of birds on islands, particularly focusing on investigating the mechanisms underlying life history traits, colour, song, behaviour and morphology.
We examine questions from both ultimate and proximate perspectives and combine field and comparative work.
