I am a behavioural ecologist with a principal interest in social evolution and reproductive strategies in vertebrates. I use observations and experiments in the field and in the lab to test evolutionary theory. Currently, my focus is on kin discrimination, cooperation and inbreeding in mammals and birds. Other research interests include bioacoustics, molecular genetics and sexual selection.
