Event Date
Speaker: Hannah Justen
Speaker Title: Postdoctoral Fellow
Speaker Home Institution/Affiliation: Dept. of Neurobiology, Physiology and Evolution, UC Davis
Speaker Bio: Hannah is a postdoctoral fellow in the Fischer Lab in the Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, whose research focuses on the genetic and ecological basis of animal behavior. She earned her PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Texas A&M University, where she studied the genomic basis of migratory behavior, hybridization, and speciation in songbirds. Her current research combines automated animal tracking, genomics, and neuroscience to investigate the biological mechanisms underlying behavioral variation and its evolution.
Seminar Title: When tadpoles fight: How early-life experiences shape behavior and the brain in the long-term.
About the Series
The Animal Behavior Seminar Series brings leading researchers to UC Davis to share insights into the study of animal behavior across diverse systems and approaches. Hosted by the Animal Behavior Graduate Group, the series fosters interdisciplinary discussion around the evolutionary, ecological, and mechanistic foundations of behavior.
