Rindy C. Anderson, Postdoctoral Associate
I am broadly interested in behavioral ecology, sexual selection and bioacoustics. My dissertation research addressed the male-male function of bird song, and the reliability of song as an aggressive signal. In my postdoctoral work at Duke I have shifted focus to the study of female song preferences. Specifically, I am interested in what females learn about male song, when they learn it, and how preferences develop and change throughout a female's life. To these ends, I have developed an operant conditioning assay to test song preferences in female sparrows.
