Alicia Burns is a biologist with research interests spanning behavioral biology, wildlife conservation, predator-prey interactions, and collective animal behavior.
She joined SCIoI in November 2021 to work as a postdoctoral researcher.
At SCIoI, Alicia worked on Project 33, collaborating with mathematicians, computer scientists, and biologists to investigate the mechanisms underlying predator-prey interactions and group hunting.
Her research focuses particularly on how individual variation influences group-level functionality and collective behavior, and how animal groups balance the competing interests of their individual members. Her broader aim is to understand the mechanisms underlying social organization and identify the factors that make some groups more successful than others in changing social and environmental conditions.
