Research on Behavioral Ecology/Evolution in NBB focuses on understanding the intricate interplay between animal behaviors and evolutionary processes. This work integrates principles from ecology, genetics, and evolutionary biology to unravel the underlying mechanisms and evolutionary forces that are driving diverse behavioral strategies and behavioral adaptations across species. This research not only enhances our understanding of animal behavior in an evolutionary context but also contributes to broader ecological and conservation efforts by highlighting the adaptive significance of behaviors and their impact on species survival and ecosystem dynamics. Through these comprehensive investigations, the faculty aim to shed light on the complex relationships between behavior, genetics, and the environment, ultimately advancing our knowledge of evolution and biodiversity.
