Profiles in "Animal Behavior" Expertise Area

  • Gilby studies wild chimpanzees in Gombe National Park, Tanzania. His research focuses on cooperative hunting, meat sharing and male dominance strategies, and informs our understanding of the behavior of early hominins.
  • Senko's work links science with innovation and governance to address dynamic coastal conservation challenges of the 21st century. He leads field and lab-based research projects in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
  • Langergraber studies the behavior and genetics of wild chimpanzees.
  • Eagle is an instructor for several introductory biology classes; her previous research focused on vocalization and behavior of Greater Prairie-Chickens, particularly as it relates to sexual selection.
  • Savalli teaches a variety of courses with an emphasis on zoology and evolution.
  • My theory-driven research explores deep histories of technological systems (textual, visual, and audio) in ecological, scientific and social contexts. My creative practice blurs false boundaries between language and art.
  • Alcock taught at ASU from 1972 to 2008 during which time he focused on courses in animal behavior and introductory biology. His research dealt with insect mating behavior although he also became interested in plants.
