We are interested in the function, mechanism, development and evolution of behaviour, working with a variety of species both in the laboratory and in the field. Our work covers both how you can apply an understanding of behaviour to solve problems in an applied settings such as agriculture, conservation, welfare and animal management, and also fundamental research into the underpinning mechanisms functions and evolution of behaviour.
