David N. Fisher is a Research Fellow at the University of Aberdeen, focusing on how social interactions influence evolutionary and ecological processes.
His work examines how animal social structures affect local adaptation and the broader implications for species survival.
He employs techniques such as multivariate mixed-effects modeling and social network analysis to study a wide range of species, including squirrels and crickets, investigating the role of behavior in evolution and adaptation.
Fisher also explores the potential for applying social interaction models to increase crop yields in agriculture. His research interests extend to the epigenetic responses of social animals, such as spiders, to infection, aiming to understand how densely populated groups resist disease.
Fisher has held previous research positions at the University of Guelph and McMaster University, and his work has broad applications in conservation, agriculture, and livestock management.
