Rate My Professor Pablo Salmón

Dr Pablo Salmón is an Affiliate Researcher in the School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine at the University of Glasgow. His research focuses on the physiological mechanisms underlying life-history trade-offs, including hormones, oxidative stress, telomere dynamics and mitochondrial functioning. He examines how these processes shape organism phenotypes from conception to death and their implications for individual performance under environmental change, particularly anthropogenically driven perturbations.

Dr Salmón holds a senior researcher position at the Institute of Avian Research “Vogelwarte Helgoland”. His work has contributed to understanding urbanisation effects on birds, with key publications including “Urbanisation impacts plumage colouration in a songbird across Europe: evidence from a correlational, experimental, and meta-analytical approach” (2023, Journal of Animal Ecology), “Continent-wide genomic signatures of adaptation to urbanisation in a songbird across Europe” (2021, Nature Communications), and “Telomeres and anthropogenic disturbances in wildlife: a systematic review and meta-analysis” (2022, Molecular Ecology). Additional studies address mitochondrial function, telomere shortening, oxidative stress in urban environments, and related topics in avian species such as great tits and zebra finches, published in journals including Aging Cell, Proceedings of the Royal Society B, and Biology Letters.
