Question: What other animal would you like to study?

I choose the questions I would like to pose and then consider what species would be most adequate to study to ask those questions. So i’m not sure how to answer your question. But I can tell you one thing, a common theme in my research has been study parental effects, differences in the quality of care that animals provide to their offspring in response to their own condition, or the quality of their mate. I would like to continue working on these questions, so n future I would choose a species that has parental care (pregnancy in mammals for example), females can have several offspring and they reproduce quickly, so I don’t have to wait 10 years before i can answer my questions. I could use many fish, frogs, lizards, some small mammals, and even insects, so my options are almost endless! 🙂
