Dr. Switzer's research interests are in animal behavior and
behavioral ecology. Currently, he is investigating (1) aggressive and
territorial behavior; (2) the choice of roosting, foraging, and breeding
habitat, and (3) mating behavior under scramble competition. In particular, he
is interested in how an individual's previous experience affects these aspects
of its behavior. Although he works mostly with insects, he has studied a wide
variety of taxa. He frequently combines theoretical modeling with empirical
tests of model predictions.
