Eva Ringler is a Professor and Head of the Division of Behavioural Ecology at the Institute of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Bern. She studies the evolutionary mechanisms that shape animal behaviour in ecologically relevant contexts, primarily focusing on the reproductive ecology and cognition of tropical frogs and lizards. Combining long-term field observations with targeted behavioural experiments conducted under controlled laboratory conditions, she explores the causes and consequences of different behavioural strategies, with a particular focus on parental care, spatial use, and mate choice.
