Specific Interests
I am interested in understanding how adaptive state-dependent behavior influences the evolution of animal personality or behavioral syndromes. I am currently trying to determine the relative importance of early foraging success on antipredator behavior using freshwater snails (Physa sp.) as a model system. I will look at both boldness (measured by foraging effort), and consistency of later behavioral responses in relation to their initial states (manipulated by resource levels).
