Sociality

Animal sociality research examines the dynamics of social behaviours within animal communities. Our research uses a wide range of study species to understand group structures, communication patterns, cooperation, and conflict resolution. By observing interactions, such as mating, aggression, parental care, and hierarchical systems, we gain a deeper understanding of the evolutionary, ecological, and behavioural factors shaping sociality. These can help inform conservation strategies, disease ecology, and provide insights into human behaviour and societal structures.
