Birkhead, Michael

Birkhead, Michael is a prominent evolutionary biologist known for his research on animal reproduction and sexual selection. He investigates how traits related to reproduction develop and influence species survival, often focusing on birds and other animals. His work explores how different strategies—like sperm competition and mate choice—shape evolutionary outcomes. Birkhead has written extensively to make complex scientific concepts accessible, contributing significantly to understanding the biological foundations of reproductive behavior and evolution.
