Neurogenomic dynamics following social interactions in male threespined sticklebacks
… to fatherhood, and compared and contrasted the neurogenomics of paternal care with the neurogenomics of the response to a territorial challenge. Males experienced dramatic neurogenomic shifts while they were providing paternal care. Genes related to hormones that change in mammalian mothers …

The Neurogenomic State Underlying Selfish and Altruistic Aggression in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera)
… regarding the molecular biology and neurogenomics underlying this ecologically important behaviour. Workers exhibit altruistic aggression to protect their colony while queens exhibit selfish aggression to gain reproductive control within their colony. I hypothesized that the …

Proximate and ultimate factors influencing honey bee reproductive-related behavior
Investigations into animal behavior can have two different forms of inquiry. Proximate questions are concerned with how a behavior evolved and the mechanisms underlying it, while ultimate questions are concerned with the fitness consequences of a behavior and why it evolved. I have examined aspects …

Neurogenomic architecture of honey bee social behavior
Animals adaptively navigate complex social interactions, respond to social signals, and modify behavior to meet the demands of a changing environment. To do so, social experience must be embedded in the nervous system to modify behavior in anticipation of future events. How social information is …

New Insights into the Evolution of Learned Vocalization from the Australian Zebra Finch, Taeniopygia castanotis
<p>The common goal of my thesis is to understand the causative events in evolution that produced a clade of song learning birds from non-song learning ancestors.This information is important for shedding light on the evolution of spoken language in our own human lineage, where evolutionary analyses …

An emerging role for tcf7l2 at the nexus between metabolic regulation and social behavior
Most animals utilize social behaviors that are preprogrammed at birth, for example, to avoid predators or defend territory. But these programs are also certainly modified by emotional learning and subsequent events. Indeed, failure to modify and master these instinctive responses underlie many …
