Main Focus
As a behavioural ecologist, I am interested in the drivers that lead to behavioural diversity in wild animal populations with a particular focus on (social) learning processes and how these are shaped by the ecological environment that individuals experience. My research investigates how social network structure shapes the transmission of novel behaviour through populations, what learning strategies different subsets of individuals employ and how these change throughout an individual’s lifetime and in relation to the environment.
