Dr Noa Truskanov
Senior lecturer
My research focuses on the mechanisms and implications of cultural transmission. I use experimental work on learning and social behavior in a diversity of model systems, to study how information derived from different sources affects foraging decisions, social relationships and expansion into novel habitats |
