Teaching

My main teaching interests are animal behavior and behavioural physiology (in particular endocrinology), as well as some molecular genetics. 

I look at behavioural and physiological mechanisms from an evolutionary and developmental perspective. I favour experimental approaches and have ample experience with setting up behavioural experiments and hormonal and genetic techniques. Ideally this is linked to the study of animals in the wild.

At Plymouth University I currently teach on a range of modules in this area both for bachelor and master degrees.
