Rachel Grant specialises in behavioural and evolutionary ecology. In particular, she studies amphibians, reptiles and birds. Research interests include the effects of geophysical variables on animal ecology, which has applications for conservation and hazard risk forecasting. A further interest is animal welfare, especially of non-mammals (reptiles, birds and amphibians in particular). A more minor interest is human behavioural ecology, in particular the evolutionary mechanisms which led to patriarchy, and deimatic display in humans.
