Kimberley Mathot is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta. Her research primarily focuses on understanding the causes and consequences of behavioral variation in individuals and populations. She investigates how individuals display consistent differences in average behavior and how these behavioral traits can impact fitness in varying ecological contexts. Mathot employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating theoretical and empirical studies that span both lab and fieldwork. Her work often combines methods from behavioral ecology, evolutionary biology, physiology, and quantitative genetics to offer insights into the individual-level mechanisms driving behavioral diversity.
