Esteban Fernandez-Juricic is a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Purdue University. His research integrates behavioral, visual, and conservation ecology to address questions related to antipredator behaviors, foraging, mating, and social behaviors among various species. He focuses on avian visual systems and their evolutionary implications, particularly concerning human-wildlife interactions. His lab combines empirical approaches, theoretical modeling, and comparative studies across a range of species including birds, mammals, amphibians, insects, and fish. Current research interests include investigating the properties of avian visual systems and their co-evolution in relation to behavioral ecology. His laboratory conducts behavioral experiments in both controlled environments and field settings, employing a mixed-methods approach to statistical analyses to ensure rigorous empirical support for findings.
