Professor of Animal Behaviour, Macquarie University

I am a professor of animal behaviour in the School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University in Sydney. I teach a first year course on the biological basis of behaviour and I run a research group that addresses questions mostly related to animal communication, social behaviour, cognition, and conservation.

We mostly study lizards, but also work on frogs and birds.
