While ectotherms generally are dependent upon external heat sources, thermoregulation can be very precise in some species and contexts. For some species, conformity to the external temperatures is the rule. For those species that do thermoregulate, there is very little known about the costs of this ... [more]

In my thesis, I aimed to find where stopovers are located, how they are connected, and where social information can flow. Subsequently, I built a network using the stopovers to identify which may be most important for social information flow and analyzed how they overlap in their temporal use. I ... [more]

Themes and Variations in Animal Behavior

Institute Seminar by Gordon Berman

Animal behavior consists of an intricate hierarchy of dynamics, from brief muscle twitches to stereotyped behaviors to longer-lived states like hunger, aggression, and parenting. How does an animal bridge these timescales to create complex sequences of actions? The approach that most researchers ... [more]
