Foundation Professor and Founding Director, School of Life Sciences. In sociogenetics, determined origin and evolutionary consequences of polyandry in social insects. Genetically isolated the primary sex-determining mechanisms for honeybees and most haplodiploid insects. Demonstrated feasibility of genetically mapping behavior in non-model organisms. Maps of honeybee physiology and behavior have revealed novel aspects of the evolution of social insects.
