Research Interests |
My research interests lie primarily in behavioral ecology, specifically, behavioral development in juvenile mammals. Juveniles are super interesting and intriguing, and I have many questions - what are they doing? with whom? and why do they need so long?
Despite extensive knowledge on mammalian life histories, infant and adult behavioural development, juveniles remain the least studied life-history stage. Few longitudinal data sets are available in long-lived mammals outside of primates, due in part to juvenile mammals being difficult to observe, especially in natural settings. The juvenile period is critical given that it is flanked by two transitions fraught with risks to fitness: (1) the transition to nutritional independence (i.e. weaning) (nursing offspring to juvenile) and (2) the transition to adulthood (juvenile to adult).
Systematic descriptions of juvenile attributes and behavior offer insights into ways that individuals solve specific developmental challenges such as developing social bonds, successful hunting, and avoiding predators. Attributes that are important to understanding the developmental process in juveniles that will later shape them as adults.
Using a diverse set of approaches and developing new ones: physiological and hormonal development, age- and sex-specific survival, behavior and relationships, I ultimately want to understand the function of the juvenile period, and the proximate and ultimate causes of an extended juvenile period. But also produce important baseline data for this relatively neglected age group, essential for future comparisons and ongoing conservation and conservation management.
