Chris Tyson



I am broadly interested in how ecological factors shape animal breeding systems and behaviors. To study these questions, I use a variety of tracking methods to describe the hidden lives of free-living avian species. Previously, my research focused on long-lived seabirds breeding in highly dynamic marine environments and the parental care strategies employed by various species to exist in these habitats. In this work, I used a combination of radio-frequency identification readers, geolocators, and GPS tags to monitor the parental effort of breeding pairs. This research was conducted as part of my PhD dissertation, which I completed in 2021 at the University of California, Davis.


Currently, as a post-doctoral researcher within the Next Level Animal Science Innovation Program, I am working with Marc Naguib, Sjouke Kingma, and Kat Bebbington to develop an automated radio telemetry system to track cooperatively breeding birds in Eswatini.
