Davide Baldan is an Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, specializing in behavioral ecology and evolutionary biology. His research focuses on the evolutionary conflict between sexual conflict and parental cooperation, using avian species with diverse mating systems including monogamy and polygamy.
- Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Wageningen University (2019)
- M.A. in Evolutionary Biology, University of Padova (2013)
- B.S. in Biology, University of Padova (2009)
His integrative approach examines behavioral mechanisms and endocrine flexibility in parental care strategies, particularly in the rock sparrow (Petronia petronia), with fieldwork conducted in Spain and Italy's Alps. Current projects include climate change impacts on parental behavior starting 2024.
Research trends in his publications emphasize: sexual conflict resolution, corticosterone regulation under environmental stress, spatio-temporal coordination in biparental care, and urbanization effects on reproductive strategies. His work spans experimental studies, hormonal analyses, and evolutionary modeling.
