PhD: Early life impacts on animal ‘personalities’ throughout development

University of Edinburgh

I am studying how individual differences in behaviour develop across ontogent in amphibians, particularly frogs. I am broadly interested in why animals behaviour the way they do, and the consequences of this. I am co-supervised by Patrick Walsh at the university of Edinburgh and Eva Ringler at the University of Bern. I am mainly based in Edinburgh.
