Zusammenfassung (auf Englisch)
I will present recent research focused on the
application of remote sensing tools to understand environmental
heterogeneity and how it can be linked to individual trait
variation.
I will discuss how satellite data can increase our understanding
of phenotypic and possibly genomic variation by including case
studies of blue tit and great tit populations breeding in rural
environments in England (Wytham, Oxfordshire) and France (Corsica
and Montpellier, France).
I will further introduce possible applications of such methods in
the context of a recently created nestbox population set in a
gradient of urbanisation, where we aim to understand the footprint
of cities on the phenotype and genotype of wild great tits and
blue tits.
