AACR2 Ornithologist Sonia Kleindorfer is an ornithologist whose research on the ecology and behaviour of Australian birds has earned her international recognition. Her focus is on how animal behaviour shapes evolutionary dynamics in birds and parasites. In particular she studies fairy-wrens, firetails and honeyeaters. Kleindorfer discovered that fairy wrens call to their eggs, with implications in understanding how birds program the development of their offspring. She is Director of the Flinders Research Centre for Climate Adaptation and Animal Behaviour and a Professor in the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University. 2002 Career position - Lecturer in Biology, Flinders University 2002 2002 Life event - Settled in Australia 2004 Career position - Head, Birdlab 2008 Career position - Associate Editor, Emu: Austral Ornithology 2010 Career position - Scientific Director, Flinders Research Centre for Climate Adaptation and Animal Behaviour 2016 2016 Award - D.
