Multivariate models of animal sex: Breaking binaries in biology

Dr. Sara Lipshutz delivers the inaugural lecture of our new series Beyond Binaries: Sex, Gender, and the Natural World. Cultural biases shape our predictions for how and why animals behave the way they do, and female animals have historically been neglected in biological research. We study female competition across diverse avian species, from underlying mechanisms to evolutionary consequences. Rather than emphasizing the binary of female vs. male phenotypes, we position our research in a framework of sex diversity and variation. Dr. Sara Lipshutz is an Assistant Professor in Biology at Duke University. Her research group focuses on the evolution of behavior across weird and wonderfully diverse species of birds. This work bridges “muddy boots” experimental fieldwork with a variety of molecular and computational approaches in genetics, genomics, neuroscience, and endocrinology.
