She is author of Creatures of Cain: The Hunt for Human Nature in Cold War America (Princeton University Press, 2019) and Looking for a Few Good Males: Female Choice in Evolutionary Biology (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010). Her new project turns to the post-WWII efflorescence of long-term field sites to study animal behavior, the consolidation of behavioral ecology as a discipline, and the networks of collaboration that sustain field research in far flung locales. She currently serves as the chair of the editorial board for Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences.
