Biography
Bob Wong's research focuses on the evolution of animal mating systems and behaviour, and how investment in sex influenced reproductive strategies and biological diversity. In recent years, he has also expanded his research to investigate the impacts of environmental change on animal behaviour and the evolutionary process. Research in the group encompasses a wide range of taxa, from insects to fish.
