Research Summary:
Dr. Bronson's research focuses on the environmental regulation of mammalian reproduction. He is interested in the kinds of envionmental factors that can regulate reproduction and the neuroendocrine pathways that allow them to do so. He is particularly interested in seasonal breeding, the energetic regulation of reproduction, and the use of photoperiod as a predictive cue. He also has strong interests in mammalian social behavior.
