Kimberly Hunter

Kimberly Hunter is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Salisbury University. Her research examines animal communication systems, focusing on the evolution of complex multimodal signals in frogs.

Hunter investigates how environmental factors and sensory perception influence mate choice, signal evolution, and behavioral adaptations. Her work integrates neuroethology, evolutionary ecology, and behavioral experiments.

Recent publications analyze how climate events drive rapid phenotypic changes, how sensory environments affect mate choice decisions, and the functional integration of multimodal courtship displays. She develops educational resources on amphibian communication and conservation.
