Miya Warrington
Miya Warrington is a Research Fellow with the Department of Biological and Medical Sciences at Oxford Brookes University (UK). Her work explores animal sociality, acoustic communication and adaptation to human activities and climate change.
Her work leverages long-term study populations: 1) Siberian jays in Swedish Lapland (co-PI with PD Dr. Michael Griesser, University of Konstanz, Germany), and 2) small mammals in Africa, (collaboration with Prof. Waterman at University of Manitoba, Canada), using open-access databases for large-geographic scale, or cross-species phylogenetic analyses.

Michael Griesser
Michael Griesser is Heisenberg Fellow at the Department of Biology at the University of Konstanz (Germany), and is associated with the Center for the Advanced Study of Collective Behavior at the University of Konstanz, and the Department of Collective Behaviour, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour. His work explores animal sociality, animal linguistics and climate adaptation in boreal environments. A main part of his work leverages his long-term study populations of Siberian jays in Swedish Lapland. He is the PI of the Siberian jay project since 2004 and Director since 2012.
