Bakgrunn og aktiviteter
Fagområde
Jeg forsker innenfor adferdsøkologi og evolusjon. Jeg er interessert i hvordan miljøet påvirker evolusjonen av indivuell adferd. Min forskning involverer:
- Evolusjon av kjønnsroller
- Seksuell seleksjon og sekundære seksuelle karakterer
- Omvendte kjønnsroller
- Hvordan reproduktiv adferd hos dyr påvirkes av forandringer i miljøet
- Hvordan fangenskap påvirker dyr
Faggruppe: Centre for Biodiversity Dynamics (CBD)
