Abstract: When we contemplate how biodiversity is changing, we often focus on the species we have lost entirely. But while we have yet to lose a single bird species to […]
Abstract: A long-standing goal within the field of evolutionary genomics has been to understand how genomic and phenotypic differences between human populations arise. High-altitude environments offer a natural experiment to […]
Abstract: Organisms that develop under adversity often differ from their peers in stress physiology, behavior, and reproductive timing. Life history frameworks offer a powerful lens for making sense of this […]
Understanding the evolution of advanced cognition requires explaining how it could have gradually evolved through selection acting on heritable variations in simpler cognitive mechanisms. Making use of a previously proposed […]
The management of shared natural resources often hinges on local cooperation, yet the social networks linking communities across space can both complicate and enable collective action. This talk examines how long-distance […]
Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing large-scale cultural change. Christianity has spread widely and is now nearly universally adopted by non-Muslim populations. Despite this, traditional spiritual beliefs remain deeply rooted and continue […]
In this talk, I will share what I have learned about how endocrine mechanisms interact with environmental and social factors to shape variation in fitness-related outcomes in a wild social […]
Mobility has long enabled humans to access dispersed resources, inhabit diverse environments, and sustain social connections across communities. Mobility also operates across spatial and temporal scales, from everyday movement to […]
