Field of study
Hymenopteran social behavior

Research interests
My interest is primarily in the social behavior of insects, although the social behavior of other organisms interest me at well. In insects, I'm interested in eusociality, aggregation, inbreeding/outbreeding, kin selection/recognition, and conflict/cooperation between siblings/haplodiploids/offspring. I also have an interest in the evolutionary origins and mechanisms of sex differences, such as longevity and sexual behavior.
