The Department of Biology is a new department. It was founded in 2010 through a merger between five departments, but the subject is old.

Should I stay or should I go? Immune function as a driver of partial migration Blackbirds are partial migrants – meaning that some individuals will migrate during winter, whilst others will remain resident all year round. Our project aims to find out what drives these decisions. In particular, we are looking at whether the immune system of each bird plays a role. Each summer our team catches, mark

Sometimes, we need help with our research. If many people are involved, we can collect a lot of data covering large areas. When researchers and the general public work together with science, it is called citizen science. When you participate in citizen science projects, you get a chance to engage in questions that interest you. And we get more data than we can collect ourselves. We also get a chan
