个人简介

I am a behavioural and evolutionary ecologist with wide ranging interests centred around the study of animal life-history diversity and evolution; including reproductive conflicts of interest, early and social environmental effects, signalling and mate choice, and the role of diet in mediating these behaviours. I also have developing interests in animal social networks, behavioural syndromes and brood parasites. My work uses both vertebrate and invertebrate model systems in the field and in the lab. I am a member of the Behaviour research group. Qualifications 1998 PhD Zoology (University of Durham) 1993 BSc Ecology (University of Edinburgh) Career 2008-present Lecturer in Behavioural Ecology, University of Exeter 2007-2008 NERC postdoctoral fellowship, University of Exeter 2005-2006 NERC postdoctoral fellowship, University of Glasgow 2002-2005 Postdoc, University of Glasgow (with Jan Lindström & Neil Metcalfe) 1998-2001 Postdoc, Lancaster University (Ian Hartley & Geoff Parker)

研究领域

I am interested in a variety of related topics within behavioural ecology including parental care, reproductive conflicts of interest, early and social environmental effects (particularly on the expression of secondary sexual traits), social networks, signalling and mate choice, consistency of behaviour (‘personality’), and the potential role of oxidative stress in mediating some of these effects.
