Thrilled to share my first publication in Scientific Reports! Our study focused on comparing morphometric responses of two congeneric species, the native Cape and the non-native house sparrows to increased urbanisation in SA. Link: doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Have you ever wondered why animals did not enter urban areas more frequently during the COVID-19 pandemic? Our research in Communications Biology shows that even in empty cities, the level of animal tolerance to humans remained the same as it was before the pandemic. 👉rdcu.be/dN7rM

Excited to share our latest research published in Ecology and Evolution! We've found that the house sparrow is not just a seed predator, but also an effective seed disperser. This dual role has major implications for ecosystem dynamics. Check it out! 🌱🐦 doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

Why are non-native animals so successful in urban systems? What is the role of urbanisation in the introduction and establishment of non-native animal species? Excited to share my first first-authored literature review with @dmdominoni in J Urban Ecology! academic.oup.com/jue/article/10…
