Dr Kate DurrantResearch InterestsMy scientific interests are many and varied. Primarily a molecular and behavioural ecologist, I have also worked with host-parasite-vector systems, phylogeography, sperm competition, sexual selection, mating systems and conservation genetics. I am interested in extra-pair copulation
and sperm competition theory, parasite-mediated sexual selection, patterns of
