Bio
Our research group studies the quantitative and molecular genetics of sexual behaviour in the zebra finch to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. One of our main interests lies in the understanding of genes that contribute to sexually antagonistic evolution. For instance, we ask, what are the effects of genes that increase male promiscuity (and hence male fitness), on female promiscuity, female fecundity, but also on male and female parental qualities. These and many other questions are addressed using long term data on a very large captive population of zebra finches. Extensive observational data on extra-pair courtships in a communal aviary setting are complemented with breeding of selection lines and large-scale SNP genotyping that allows us to conduct QTL mapping and subsequent study of candidate genes involved the behaviours that lie at the core of sexual selection.
