    She uses a psychobiological framework to investigate the mechanisms mediating social relationships and prosociality in animal models, ranging from primates to pigs. She studies how animals form and maintain social relationships and how relationships provide fitness benefits to individuals. This work has broader implications for understanding the evolution of cooperation and the links between social support and health benefits, in humans and other animals.

    Her primary research interests are cognition and vocal communication in mammals and birds. The main aims of her research are understanding how animals use vocal signals to encode information about their identity (e.g. species, group, individual identity), their quality (e.g. body size, dominance status, age) and their affective states (emotions, mood), as well as the impact of such information on conspecifics.
