Current Research

In collaboration with Dr. David Lusseau, I am currently studying the cooperative hunting behaviour of bottlenose dolphins in Aberdeen harbour. I am using simulations to explore the conditions under which cooperation can evolve and I am modelling the structure of their population using game theory and social network analyses.
