I study parent behaviour in biparental (both parents share care of offspring) species of birds and mammals.  The Sandpiper Video Probe System (small camera attached to long flexible cable) allows observations of parent-young interactions to be made in small nesting cavities.  I will use this system to study parent-young interactions in a burrow-nesting seabird (Atlantic puffin) to determine what cues parents use to assess the condition of their chick and the parental contribution of their mates.  I will also use the system to observe parent-young interactions of rodents when they return to the nest to attend their pups (e.g., latency to arch-backed nursing) to determine what components of parental behaviour are affected by enclosure size and hormonal manipulations.  I will use the Noldus EthoVision and Event Recording System to record and analyse behavioral observations of cliff-nesting seabirds (common murres) and the away-from-nest foraging behaviour of rodent parents.

我研究双亲的父母行为（父母共同照顾后代）鸟类和哺乳动物的物种。（小型摄影机系在长而柔软的缆线上），可以在小小的巢穴中观察父母与幼鸟的互动。我将使用这个系统来研究在洞穴筑巢的海鸟中父母与幼鸟的互动（大西洋海雀），以确定父母使用什么线索来评估他们的小鸡的状况和他们的配偶的父母的贡献。我还将使用该系统来观察啮齿动物返回巢穴照顾他们的幼崽时的父母与幼崽的相互作用（例如，我将使用Noldus EthoVision和事件记录系统来记录和分析悬崖筑巢海鸟（普通海鸦）的行为观察和啮齿类父母远离巢穴的觅食行为。
