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
