Clint D. Kelly | Principal investigator
Canada Research Chair in Behavioral Ecology
Groupe de Recherche en Écologie Comportamentale et Animale

Clint obtained his B.Sc. from the University of Waterloo, MSc. from Mount Allison University (supervisor: Prof. Jean-Guy Godin) and PhD from the University of Toronto (supervisor: Prof. Darryl Gwynne).  He completed an NSERC post-doctoral fellowship at the Australian National University (host: Prof. Michael Jennions) and was a Killam Fellow at Dalhousie University (host: Prof. Shelley Adamo).  He joined the EEOB faculty at Iowa State University in 2008 and then migrated back home in 2013 to join the faculty in the Department of Biological Science at the Université du Quebéc à Montréal.

Clint is a member of ReNewZoo and an Ambassador for the Center for Open Science.

Social network analysis
I am examining the links between individual characters, social interactions, and sexual selection, using insect model systems. I am also broadly interested in the topics of social behavior and social networks, sexual selection, animal personality, and dispersal ecology. Much of my previous research has focused on the links between social behavior and reproductive outcomes, using study systems ranging from wild rodent populations to insects in laboratory settings.

​​Strategies, success and social interaction: An evolutionary approach to video game behaviour​
I currently work on behaviour selection in a social network context using video game data. Among other things, I want to identify the relationship between performance and strategy selection among and within social groups. I also aim to merge the approaches of game theory and social network analysis to better describe the dynamics of frequency dependent strategies in socially heterogeneous populations. In a partnership with the video game company Behaviour Interactive, I use an ecological and evolutionary framework and techniques to facilitate the design of ever-changing multiplayer online games.

Evolutionary maintenance and conservation implications of alternative mating morphs in Wellington tree weta
I am investigating how the three alternative morphs of male Wellington tree weta are maintained in natural populations and what implications this may have for managing conservation translocations of this species. As a trainee of the ReNewZoo program, I am also be undertaking an internship at the Calgary Zoo to conduct a meta-analytic review of insect translocations. I am broadly interested in conservation genetics and science communication.

Effect of rearing density on investment in sexually selected and life history traits in a field cricket
I am studying the effects of population density during development on energetic investment in reproduction and immunity in the cricket species Gryllus firmis. I am also investigating whether or not there is a correlation between mandible size (a trait associated with pre-copulatory sexual selection) and aggressiveness. My career goal is to teach post-secondary biology.
