Amélie Dreiss

My research interests focus on the understanding of animal behaviour in the light of life history strategies and sexual selection. On the experimental side, I carry out field experiments, on various model species. I am currently studying the emergence of negotiation behaviour in broods of Tyto alba, and the evolution of multiple strategies related to melanin-based colouration in Tyto alba and Strix aluco.
