BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Professor of Biology, Boston University

We study the ecological factors that have influenced the genetics of colonies and populations, the behavioral mechanisms of cooperation, and the neural basis of social behavior. Current emphasis is on the evolution and ecology of caste and division of labor, behavioral specialization and mosaic brain evolution in ants.
