I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.

I work on a number of evolutionary and ecological questions with a number of species of birds in both the field and laboratory. Captive model systems such as the Gouldian finch and zebra finch provide excellent opportunities to understand diversity in questions relating to speciation, sociality, sexual selection, and signalling. We are also interested in how Australia's extreme and highly stochastic climate influences behaviour and life history evolution.

I am an Biology Assistant Professor at University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky. My current research interest involves investigating neural, genetic and epigenetic mechanism regulating latitudinal cline in critical photoperiodic response, daily clock under different life-history states, and circannual clock properties of geographically distinct dark-eyed junco populations in North America.

My current research focuses on investigating whether or not the utilization of social information is taxonomically widespread, beneficial in different ecological conditions, and independent of permanent group-living similarly to the exploitation of other biotic or abiotic cues in the environment. I use several model systems to test related predictions in the contexts of foraging and predator avoidance, and build individual-based models to investigate how social information-mediated behavioural adjustments may affect population dynamics and species interactions.
