Polyandry is the rule, not the exception: Dr. Kristin Hook

Dr. Kristin Hook completed a Ph.D. in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell University in 2016. She taught at Cornell University and at the University of Maryland from 2016-2018 about animal behavior and comparative physiology. Her research reveals the complexity of female mating behavior within polyandrous species and the consequent dynamic post-copulatory processes responsible for behavioral, morphological, and physiological traits involved in reproduction. She has worked with rattlebox moths, seed beetles, and now Peromyscus mice. At the symposium (Reproduction: the Female Perspective from an Integrative and Comparative Framework), Dr. Hook will speak on The Importance of Female Reproductive Traits: From Mice to Seed Beetles.

Reproduction: A Female Perspective

Investigating the theoretical and practical ways in which focusing on female biology can not only alter our understanding of functional morphology, physiological mechanisms, and behavioral patterns, but also begin to remove historical bias that can undercut current research
