研究领域

I am interested in how animals manage the unexpected dangers and opportunities they face in their lives. Broadly speaking, there are two main strategies for managing such uncertainty adaptively, be it when attempting to find food or mates, navigate, avoid predators or interact socially. Individuals can attempt to reduce it in a particular context by gathering or providing information, or they can attempt to minimise the impact of uncertainty by insuring themselves. Examples of the latter include: developing and maintaining a range of options to guarantee a back-up should the current situation deteriorate - being flexible or generalist; developing and maintaining buffers - like protective morphologies and energy reserves; or altering their local environment (niche construction).
