Rita Fortuna
I am an evolutionary and behavioural ecologist, interested in how environmental variation and genetic background influence life-history traits and behaviour. I concluded my PhD thesis with the Sociable Weaver Project on “Maternal allocation strategies and offspring fitness in the cooperatively breeding sociable weaver: integrating climate, predation and helper effects” in 2022.

I am a behavioural ecologist with a focus on how animals coordinate group behaviour and share anti-predator information using vocalizations. Currently I am focused on how anthropogenic noise affects prey behaviour and how that affects their relationships to their predators, as well as how populations differ in their responses to and production of anti-predator vocalizations.

Rafael Mares
I’m a wildlife biologist, data scientist and web developer, with an interest in animal movement, spatial data visualisation, and nature conservation. As a postdoctoral researcher with the Sociable Weaver Project (2013 – 2014), I studied the effects of temperature and rainfall on breeding patterns. Personal webpage
