Camilla Soravia is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia, specializing in behavioral ecology. She completed her MSc in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Padova, Italy, where her thesis focused on how food supply variation affects parent-offspring sibling interactions in wild lesser kestrels. In 2018, she undertook an Erasmus traineeship at the Experimental Station for Arid Zones in Almeria, Spain, collaborating on a research project on plumage coloration evolution. She began her PhD at the University of Western Australia, studying the effects of heat stress on cognition in wild southern pied babblers under the supervision of Associate Professor Mandy Ridley. Since 2022, she has worked as a Research Associate at UWA, focusing on the behavioral fitness consequences of cognitive impairment due to heat stress. In August 2024, she will join the University of Chester as a postdoctoral researcher, concentrating on behavioral responses of wild lesser horseshoe bats to anthropogenic stressors. Her research interests include animal cognition and behavior, particularly how wild animals adapt to environmental changes caused by human pressures, and the role of science communication in connecting humans with nature.
