About
Associate Professor at Binghamton University Behavioral Ecologist BA, PhD, University of Chicago Ecology and evolution of non-human animal social behaviors are the focus of my lab’s research. Past work includes studies of parent-offspring
relations in birds and currently, ecology and life history of
cooperative behaviors (e.g., sentinel behavior, territory defense,
caching and food calling) in American crows. Because these are now urban
birds, our research includes work on effects of urban living on crows
and other species. We also study the role of crows and other urban birds
in transmission of West Nile virus.
