Judith Lock

Principal Teaching Fellow in Ecology and Evolution, University of Southampton

Principal Teaching Fellow in Ecology and Evolution, University of Southampton In my PhD I looked at parent-offspring conflict, using burying beetles are my model species. These beetles provide care to their offspring for about a week after they hatch, and care is best when it is provided by both parents - who divide tasks between them - more direct behaviours by mothers and indirect by fathers. Since completing my PhD I have become a teaching-focussed academic, teaching animal behaviour and related topics in evolutionary ecology and conservation. I am programme lead for MRes Wildlife Conservation at the University of Southampton, a programme run in collaboration with Marwell Wildlife.
