Dr. X. Long is a researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Groningen, contributing to the Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences. Their work centers on understanding the evolutionary mechanisms behind sex-specific parental roles in birds and other species.
- PhD in Evolutionary Biology (University of Groningen, 2022)
Research explores how ecological and social factors drive divergence in parental care strategies. Key methods include phylogenetic comparative analysis, individual-based simulations, and theoretical modeling of sex role coevolution with sex ratios.
Publications focus on sex differences in parental care, ecological predictors of cooperation in avian species, and evolutionary dynamics of sex roles. These works intersect disciplines like evolutionary ecology, behavioral genetics, and population biology.
Collaborations include research with experts in avian ecology (e.g., Tamás Székely, Jan Komdeur) and theoretical biology (e.g., Franz Weissing). Currently affiliated with the Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences.
