From ecology to physiology and evolution, ABRP has tackled research questions on a wide range of topics. Areas of special interest include the evolution of social behavior, behavioral endocrinology, functional genetics and genomics, disease ecology, sexual selection, aging, and demography. Links to our publications in these areas can be found here.
