My scientific research activity is focused on the topics of sexual selection, social selection, sexual ornamentation and its evolution. Recently, I also focus on both sexual and non-sexual social associations, through the study of social networks, and on phenotypic evolution, namely sexual ornamentation and behavioural variation (personality and cognition). I am thus interested in their effects on social structure, studying and describing social interactions in both non-breeding and breeding contexts, to search how it influences mate choice and mate preferences. My PhD was elaborated on these topics, to understand how phenotypes influence social behaviour and mate choice in the common waxbill (Estrilda astrild), and was finished in 2022.
