Expertise
My lab uses social fishes from both marine and freshwater environments as model species to test key hypotheses related to the evolution of conflict, cooperation, group-living and mating systems. The techniques we use range from observational and experimental approaches in the field to physiological assessments of underlying proximate mechanisms in the laboratory. We are also interested in understanding the impacts of abiotic stressors on the behaviour of social fishes and how this impacts higher levels of their social organisation.
