Main Focus
PhD thesis
Proxies of extra-pair behaviour: the influence of the spatial, temporal, and social setting on patterns of extra-pair paternity, with Bart Kempenaers, Department of Behavioural Ecology and Evolutionary Genetics (now Department for Ornithology), MPI for Ornithology Seewiesen, now MPI for biological Intelligence.
PostDoc
My current research focuses on improving our understanding of complex behaviours such as bird song or courtship by evaluation of common features. My approach is to find aspects of behaviour that are shared by a variety of bird species and investigate how these common features may have evolved.
