Sara E. Lipshutz studies the behavior, hormones, and evolution of birds, with a focus on how sex roles, competition, and reproduction shape traits and physiology. Much of her work examines species with unusual mating systems (such as sex-role-reversed shorebirds and socially polyandrous jacanas) and how hormones, microbes, and genetics relate to competitive and reproductive phenotypes. She also contributes to conceptual work on rethinking how biological sex is studied in ecology and evolution.
