I am interested in the evolutionary ecology of sexual behaviour, and most of my work focuses on resolving different aspects of sexual selection and intersexual coevolution, using the fowl, Gallus gallus, as a model species which enables me to use a combination of experimental work, and physiological and molecular tools.
