Cognitive zoologist investigating the evolution of animal cognition, particularly in response to fire (pyrocognition). Amateur wildlife photographer based in southern Sweden. More interested in rare behaviours than rare species.

New preprint out!🧪🌍🔥
I observed 17 bird species at two prescribed fires in Sweden. They appeared to mostly ignore the fire, and some (such as this skylark) even sang through the smoke - an important comparison with birds from fire-prone regions (reviewed here).

How do birds respond to active fire?
This has been studied in various fire-prone regions (brief review included), but less elsewhere. Here, I observed Swedish birds mainly ignoring fire, and some even continued singing.
