Memory for own behaviour in pinnipeds
Published in Animal Cognition, 2019
We trained three species of seals and sea lions to recall their last behaviour on cue.

Social network architecture and the tempo of cumulative cultural evolution
Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2021
We used agent based models to test the effect of network architecture on the tempo of cumulative cultural evolution.

Coevolution of relative brain size and life expectancy in parrots
Published:
We used Bayesian survival trajectory analysis and structural equation models to estimate parrot life expectancy and show that increased relative brain size explains increased life expectancy across species.

teaching
General introduction biology
Bachelors course, University of Southern Denmark, 2015
I worked as a teaching assistent during the biology part of a larger course that introduced natural science student to different subjects in the wider field. I had the responsibility for groups of 20-30 students that worked on exercises and presented the solutions.
VtK: Going Wild
Masters course, Max Planck Institue of Animal Behavior, 2021
Gave a lecture on bio-acoustics and co-supervised a group of master students working on local dialects and aggression in great tits.
