I am
interested in learning about behavioral variation found among and within
individuals of the same sex. One of the most interesting examples of this type
of variation can be found in male mating behavior. In a variety of taxa, males
use different behaviors to obtain matings with females (e.g. displaying or
fighting versus sneaking, female mimicry, or acting as a satellite). I am
interested in determining the conditions under which individuals make
decisions about which mating behavior to use.
