Ecology and Evolutionary Biology of FishesBarred_Lake_Nicaragua_Midas_cichlid

The primary goal of research in the Oldfield laboratory is to better understand the evolution of social behavior. Cichlid fishes are used as a model system. Methods currently used involve behavior, ecology, anatomy, endocrinology, and systematics and taxomony.

In addition, we study behavioral ecology of local fishes in order to contribute to the conservation of native biodiversity.
