Research
We seek to understand
- how sexual selection, social behaviour, and ecological conditions affect the evolution of mating strategies and morphology.
- the mechanistic traits underlying fitness. We measure physiological and morphological correlates of competitive success, development, and endurance to provide tools and suggest processes critical to understanding behavioural and morphological evolution.
