About

Rebecca Kilner is a Professorial Fellow at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Her research focuses on evolutionary biology, particularly in the areas of parental care, niche construction, and resource allocation in burying beetles and parasitic finches. Recent articles authored by Kilner explore themes such as social transmission of materials and the ecological factors influencing reproductive success and cooperation among siblings.
