Behavioural Ecology & Ecophysiology University of Antwerp

Responsible
The main research interest of the research group Behavioural Ecology & Ecophysiology is the study of the causes and consequences of variation in behavioural traits among individuals. Most studies are carried out within an ethological framework, focusing on all four major aspects of animal behaviour: causation, development, function and evolution. We use an integrative and multidisciplinary approach to study reproduction and sexual selection ...

Behavioural Biology University of Antwerp

Our research focuses on social behavioural mechanisms in mammals, especially humans. The core question is always an evolutionary one: In what why is behaviour an evolutionary adaptation? In human behaviour we emphasize on the analysis of communication of emotions, both the production of signals as their perception. The influence of testosterone on emotional behaviour is investigated. We also inquire into the appropriateness of the hypothesis ...

Evolutionary ecology group (EVECO) University of Antwerp

Responsible
The Evolutionary Biology Group has two main lines of research: A) Evolutionary processes that affect biodiversity. The evolutionary relationships between different taxonomic units are studied through the analysis of morphological and molecular variation. Together with data on geographic distributions in time and space, hypotheses about diversification (speciation) and their implications for conservation and biodiversity are formulated. The ...
