RESEARCH INTERESTS

 

As a behavioral ecologist I am interested in evolutionary and ecological processes that generate the broad diversity of animal behavior. Our research focuses on the evolution of social behaviors such as parental care, brood parasitism and cooperative breeding. Most recently we have focused on the roles of mutualism and parasitism in social evolution. Our general approach is to develop mathematical models that are applicable to a broad range of animals and to test the predictions of these (and other) models using laboratory and field experiments.

Kimberly D Tanner

My research group, SEPAL: The Science Education Partnership and Assessment Laboratory, is interested in how people learn science, especially biology, and how teachers and scientists can collaborate to make science teaching and learning in classrooms – Kindergarten through college – more like how scientists work.
