Research in the Ward Lab seeks to understand the proximate and ultimate factors that control variation in animal behavior. Current research in the lab reflects three major research themes; (1) the development
of behavior (specifically with respect to embryonic learning, social learning, cognition, and
developmental plasticity; (2) sensory ecology and the function and evolution of animal communication
systems; and (3) anthropogenic effects on animal behavior.
