Genetics of Complex Social Behaviours
Genetics of Complex Social Behaviours
About the Project Complex social behaviours are essential for the functioning of societies. However, disentangling their genetic and environmental components can be challenging. Sexual behaviours, for instance, are highly diverse … Read More Read More

The evolution of vertebrate parental care diversity
The evolution of vertebrate parental care diversity
Parental care is extremely diverse among species: how care is provided, how long for parent(s) care, and who cares. Theoretical models also predicts that, once evolved, care alters life history … Read More Read More

Understanding the ecology and coevolution of aphids and parasitoids to improve natural biocontrol measures in field crops
Understanding the ecology and coevolution of aphids and parasitoids to improve natural biocontrol measures in field crops
Parasitoids are insects that play a fundamental ecological role in both natural and agricultural ecosystems by regulating the population of herbivore pests, such as aphids. Despite much work on the … Read More Read More
