About

Pierre Bize is the Head of Department at the Swiss Ornithological Institute in Switzerland. His research focuses on the areas of cryptic sexual dimorphism, glycation rates in birds, and the effects of pollutants on avian health. Recent articles explore topics such as moult dynamics in Alpine swifts, developmental windows in wing growth, and the genetic correlations of body mass in birds. He also investigates emerging diseases affecting bird populations and the impact of climate change on wildlife.
