The Centre for Behaviour and Evolution (CBE) is a cross-faculty research centre. We unite researchers with a common goal of understanding animal behaviour, including that of humans.

Key themes

Our multidisciplinary approach allows us to innovate across key themes in behaviour. We fuse ideas and expertise from a range of disciplines, including:

• neuroscience
• cognitive psychology
• physiology
• behavioural ecology
• evolutionary biology

We provide novel solutions to a range of applied problems. This is particularly true in the areas of conservation and animal welfare, but also in a range of industrial contexts.

Research

Our combined knowledge and expertise enables us to develop new ideas and areas for research. Read more about our research.
