About BECO
The main research interest of the research group Behavioural Ecology & Ecophysiology is the study of the causes and consequences of variation in behavioural traits among individuals. Most studies are carried out within an ethological framework, focusing on all four major aspects of animal behaviour: causation, development, function and evolution. We use an integrative and multidisciplinary approach to study reproduction and sexual selection in different animal groups, but primarily in birds. Whilst our core research is in behavioural ecology, our current research interests span physiology to population ecology.
