Elise Huchard
I am interested in the evolution of mammalian social and mating systems. At the interface between sexual and kin selection, a major focus of my work explores the causes and consequences of reproductive and life-history strategies in mammalian societies using observational and experimental data, mainly in the context of long-term individual-centered studies.
My research examined the evolution of sexual signals, mating choice, mating with multiple partners (polyandry), and reproductive competition in females from natural populations of primates and other social mammals.
I am currently working specifically on sexual conflict, as well as genetic and social influences on development, growth, and immunity in the context of life history trait theory, occasionally using quantitative genetic tools or comparative studies, and using Tsaobis baboons, Kirindy lemurs, Kalahari meerkats, and Bakoumba mandrills as my primary models (see attached figure).
