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 transcends disciplines to ensure a future for threatened species as well as coastal fisheries and the people who depend on them. He leads field and lab-based research projects in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
- Langergraber studies the behavior and genetics of wild chimpanzees.
- Zack Shaffer is an Assistant Teaching Professor with ASU’s School of Life Sciences. He teaches large enrollment introductory biology courses. As a researcher he studies the insect societies (ants, honey bees, paper wasps).
- 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.
