Kathryn McNamara

Post-doctoral research associate, The University of Melbourne

My research interests broadly lie in the evolutionary biology of reproduction. In particular, I am interested in sexual selection, sexual conflict and ecological immunology.

I am also interested in how urban stressors, such as the presence of artificial light at night, and increases in temperature affect animal mating behaviour, and how the behaviour of populations that experience these stressors evolve over time.
