Professor Timothy Clutton-Brock. Professor Timothy Clutton-Brock is a zoologist best known for his comparative studies of the behavioural ecology of mammals. His remarkable year study of red deer revealed how differences in the mortality and feeding behaviour of the sexes are linked to the highly polygamous mating system of these animals.
Through this work, he greatly improved our understanding of how sexual and parental behaviours evolve and are related to the ecological conditions in which animals live. Professor Phyllis Lee.
She completed her PhD in animal behaviour at Cambridge in with the eminent ethologists, Richard Wrangham and Robert Hinde , and returned to Kenya in to study the Amboseli elephants with Cynthia Moss - work which continues to this day.

His applied work, for example on factors affecting aggression and tail-biting in pigs, has also yielded knowledge of practical benefit to improving welfare. Professor Peter Singer. He is known especially for his work on the ethics of our treatment of animals, for his controversial critique of the sanctity of life ethics in bioethics, and for his writing on the obligations of the affluent to aid those living in extreme poverty. He first became well-known internationally after the publication of Animal Liberation in Picture: Denise Applewhite - Princeton University.
