Social cognition in gaze-based interaction (DUALGAZE)

Date du début: 18 mai 2015, Date de fin: 17 mai 2019,

"Social cognition studies have, paradoxically, largely ignored social interaction, because of a prevailing cognitivist tradition that assumes we can learn about the minds in “isolation”, and because of methodological difficulties in operationalising real-life interaction in a controlled experimental setup. This proposal aims to study the dynamic properties of social interaction via gaze by means o ...

Coevolutionary Quantitative Genetics of Polyandry and Inbreeding in the Wild: New Theory and Test (PolyInbreed)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,

A fundamental aim in biology is to understand the (co)evolutionary dynamics of the adaptive reproductive strategies that translate ecology into evolution. However, until now, it has not been possible to explicitly test key hypotheses explaining the evolution of major reproductive strategies in wild populations experiencing real-life ecological variation. I will revolutionise our understanding of t ...
