Research Group. Behaviour & Evolution. Applications are invited for an interdisciplinary,. fully funded. PhD project to investigate how people interact with nature and how human-wildlife co-existence can benefit from public involvement in this research (Research cluster. Read more
Vision-based AI for automatic detection of individual and social behaviour in Rodents
Rodents are the most extensively used models to understand the cellular and molecular underpinnings of behaviour, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, as well as, for the development of interventions and pharmacological treatments. Read more
Linking buffalo behaviour and movement ecology with risks of zoonotic disease transfer between contiguous domestic animals and human populations

Insect movement and migration behaviour and implications for ecosystem function
Insects play many critical roles in global ecosystems. However, there is still relatively little known about their movement and migration behaviour and how this may influence a species’ ability to respond to landscape change. Read more

A complex systems approach to understanding the evolution of animal mating systems
Understanding the drivers of diverse animal mating systems remains a key challenge in evolutionary biology. In particular, monogyny, where males mate with a single female during their lifetime, remains an evolutionary puzzle because male animals typically maximise reproductive success by mating with multiple females.

Emergent leadership by well-informed individuals in self-organising groups
Background. Groups of molecules, cells and organisms often display sophisticated collective properties whose complexity far exceeds the capacity of the individual units. Read more
Can transcranial ultrasound be used to change the course of neurodegenerative disease?
White matter impairments are a major component of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease(1,2). White matter is composed of neuronal axons and their encasing myelin; a lipid-rich material produced by the oligodendroglia. Read more
