Margaret Crofoot - Science of the Sociome | ASAB Summer 2019

Margaret Crofoot, University of California, Davis, presents a plenary lecture at the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour Summer 2019 Conference in Konstanz, Germany.
Margaret Crofoot is a behavioral ecologist and evolutionary anthropologist at the University of California, Davis, a Research Associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Institute in Panama, and serves on the Executive Board of the ICARUS initiative. Meg is interested in the evolution of complex social systems and, specifically, understanding how collective (group) behaviors emerge from interactions among individuals, and how group traits impact individual fitness. She uses remote tracking technology in conjunction with field-based experiments and observational methods to explore group movement and decision-making, coordinated territorial defense, and other collective behaviors in primate social groups.
