Research Interests
I am interested in exploring female choice and multiple male traits. By using eye tracking technology in a novel way, I will be able to determine which male traits females look at when choosing to mate. I am also interested in investigating the diversity of mobbing calls. By determining the directionality of these calls, I can infer who the intended receivers are and the function of these vocalizations.
