研究领域

I work on the evolution of conflict and cooperation in animal societies using a combination of field-based research and game-theoretical modelling. Field studies focus on two model systems: cooperatively breeding banded mongooses in Uganda, and paper wasps in southern Spain. My current interests include: Conflict over reproduction in cooperative societies Development and aging in social organisms Demography and kin selection Punishment, reward, and the evolution of cooperation The evolution of menopause and human life history
