个人简介
One of my main research organisms is the banded mongoose, a cooperative mammal that lives in mixed-sex groups of around 20 individuals throughout sub-Saharan Africa. This species is very unusual because all adult females in each group mate and give birth together on the same day, but the communal litter is raised by the entire group. I run a long-term study of a population of around 250 animals in Queen Elizabeth National Park, western Uganda. We use this population to study social and transgenerational influences on aging and life history, the causes and consequences of within- and intergroup conflict, and the evolution of helping behaviour.
In addition to banded mongooses I work on a population of paper wasps in southern Spain with Prof Jeremy Field (Exeter, Biosciences), and on a population of resident killer whales off the northwest coast of the USA with Prof Darren Croft (Exeter, Psychology). My main collaborator for theoretical work is Prof Rufus Johnstone (Cambridge, Zoology). Together we have developed theoretical models to understand competition within groups, and life history evolution in humans and other long-lived social animals.
