Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior at Indiana University has a strong commitment to recruitment and training of students underrepresented in the sciences
(including various minority groups, first-generation college students, students from low-income families, disabled students). Each year, CISAB invites
faculty colleagues from non-research institutions in the U.S. (small and/or teaching colleges and universities) to choose one of our participating faculty to give a
guest lecture on animal behavior. Topics are suitable for students of biology, psychology, neurology, and general science, and CISAB pays speaker transportation and expenses. Faculty may send requests for speakers to Linda Summers (cisab@indiana.edu), CISAB, Indiana University, 402 N. Park Avenue, Bloomington, IN 47405 (FAX: 812.855.0411). Fullfillment of requests are based on availability of speaker and limited funding. Please include with your request: first and second choice of speaker (or topic), your departmental affiliation, and the name and location of your school. |
| P A R T I C I P A T I N G F A C U L T Y |
| Jeffrey R. Alberts DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY |
| Dr. Alberts focuses on developmental aspects of animal behavior. His research interests include: developmental psychobiology, ontogeny of species-typical behavior, maturation of sensory and physiological processes; development of learning and memory. |
| Edmund D. (Butch) Brodie III DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY |
| Dr. Brodie is interested in how different traits function together and become genetically coupled. Most of his work focuses on antipreditor mechanisms in reptiles and amphibians. Current research includes the evolution of garter snake resistance to tetrodotoxin (the primary defense of newt prey), and the genetics of parental care in arrow poison frogs. Student projects may be field or laboratory based. |
| Ellen D. Ketterson DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY ( CO-DIRECTOR, CISAB ) |
| Dr. Ketterson studies avian reproductive behavior and avian migration. Her areas of focus include: physiological aspects of parental and mating behavior, sexual selection, hormones and behavior, adaptive significance of parental care. |
| Andrew P. King DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY |
| Dr. King studies the development of avian communication and learning. He is especially interested in microphyletic differences in behavior and evolutionary relationships. He also researches the bioacoustics of vocal learning. |
| Curtis M. Lively DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY |
| Dr. Lively studies the ecological and genetic factors that might explain the distribution of asexual reproduction in plants and animals, and conversely the maintenance of sexual reproduction. He is presently working on a freshwater snail in New Zealand which has both asexual and sexual females. |
| Val Nolan Jr. DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY |
| Dr. Nolan investigates the ecology and behavior of birds. His current interests are hormonal regulation of mating systems and parental behavior; development of site attatchment in migratory and non-migratory passerines, dominance, and winter distribution of migratory passerines. |
| Henry D. Prange MEDICAL SCIENCE PROGRAM |
| Dr. Prange investigates behavioral and physiological aspects of temperature regulation. He is also interested in comparative respiratory physiology. |
| George V. Rebec DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY | PROGRAM IN NEURAL SCIENCE |
| Dr. Rebec studies aspects of behavioral neuropharmacology. His research focuses on forebrain mechanisms underlying the behavioral effects of stimulants and neuroleptic drugs. |
| William J. Rowland DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY ( DIRECTOR, REU PROGRAM ) |
| Dr. Rowland combines ethological, behavior-ecological, and evolutionary approaches in his study of the behavior of fishes. His studies are currently centered on visual signals and their role in aggresion and mating and the interaction between learning and innate processes in behavior. |
| Dale R. Sengelaub DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY | PROGRAM IN NEURAL SCIENCE |
| Dr. Sengelaub studies the neurobiology and neuroethology of animal behavior. He is particularly interested in neural development and neural plasticity. |
| Joseph E. Steinmetz DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY | PROGRAM IN NEURAL SCIENCE |
| Dr. Steinmetz's research interests include the study of the neural substrates of simple learning and memory, such as the brain systems involved in classical conditioning and signalled instrumental conditioning. |
| Roderick A. Suthers MEDICAL SCIENCES PROGRAM |
| Dr. Suthers studies the neuroethology of birdsong. He is particularly interested in the motor control of song production including functional lateralization in the nervous system and motor correlates of vocal learning. |
| William D. Timberlake DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY (CO-DIRECTOR, CISAB ) |
| Dr. Timberlake studies animal behavior and learning theory. Specific research topics include: Ethological analysis of learning; circadian and ultradian rhythms; time horizons; regulatory processes in operant responding and injestion. |
| Michael J. Wade DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY |
| Dr. Wade studies the evolution of social behaviors and maternal effects in the context of genetically structured populations. The evolutionary genetic theories of kin selection and maternal effects share a common structure and offer an exciting area for integrative research. |
| Meredith E. West DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY |
| Dr. West studies the development of behavior in animals and humans with a particular interest in communication behavior. Her major objective is to investigate how learning and species-typical experience affect ontogenic and/or phylogenetic processes. |
