Dr. Webster studies animal social behavior from an evolutionary perspective, particularly focusing on the processes and outcomes of sexual selection. His work is integrative, in that he examines issues from both ultimate and proximate perspectives. This research combines intensive fieldwork with genetic, hormonal and other analyses in the lab, to unlock the secret lives of birds and other taxa
