Joshua Tabh

Joshua Tabh is a Research Fellow at Lund University, affiliated with the Ecological and Evolutionary Physiology and Evolutionary Ecology and Infection Biology groups.

His research integrates ecophysiology, climate change, and evolutionary biology to study how thermal environments drive avian phenotypes via plasticity and selection. He employs Bayesian hierarchical modeling and computational tools (e.g., Julia, C++) to analyze large datasets, focusing on climate-adaptive responses and conservation implications.

Current projects include testing traditional ecological theories to explain avian morphological shifts under global warming, with contributions to Communications Biology (2025) and Nature Ecology and Evolution (2024). His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals for biodiversity and climate action.

Scientific Contributions:

• 2025: 20+ research outputs, including Communications Biology and Journal of Avian Biology publications.
• 2022: Recipient of the Uncovering the mechanisms driving Allen’s Rule in birds prize.

Conservation Engagement: Board member of the Nova Scotia Nature Trust, advocating for private land preservation.
