Christina Hansen Wheat is an Assistant Professor at Linköping University, where her research focuses on animal behavior and its evolution. She studies how behaviors develop and evolve over time, applying Tinbergen's Four Questions to understand the causation, ontogeny, adaptation, and evolution of behavior. Her work emphasizes the impact of social environment, physiology, and climate on behavior. She has researched diverse species, including swift foxes, leopards, and birds. Currently, she is working with domestic dogs, which serve as a model to explore behavioral ecology, evolution, and the ontogeny of domestication. Christina is also seeking PhD students for research in behavioral evolution using domestic dogs as a model system.
