We are primarily interested in the interplay between behavior, ecology, genetics and fitness which we study at various levels as indicated in the graph below: 

Dynamics of social bonds Multimodal communication Cooperation & Competition Personality Plasticity & Innovation   Relatedness & Kinship Heritability Genetic diversity Gene regulation

Social environment Environmental variation Climate change Human influence Chemical ecology   Reproductive success Inclusive fitness Reproductive skew Survival Health, Parasites & Stress

Current focus: Genetics, Fitness, Behaviour, Olfaction, Cognition, Conservation
