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 the long-term study population of Siberian jays in Swedish Lapland (co-PI with PD Dr. Michael Griesser, University of Konstanz, Germany). She also collaborates on various projects on acoustic communication in animals, animal adaptation to changing climates, and envirornmental monitoring studies.
