About
Diego Rubolini is a leading evolutionary ecologist whose research bridges animal behaviour, personality, and conservation biology. His work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of how individual differences—particularly personality traits—scale up to influence group dynamics and collective behaviour. In a landmark study on homing pigeons, Rubolini demonstrated that the personality composition of a group directly affects its cohesion in response to novelty and predation threat, revealing that variation in phenotypic composition can drive differences in group performance. This work, already garnering early citations, exemplifies his broader contributions to behavioural ecology and the evolution of sociality. With a career spanning over two decades, Rubolini has published extensively on avian ecology, life-history evolution, and the impacts of climate change on migratory birds. His research is highly cited, reflecting its influence across disciplines. A prolific collaborator and mentor, Rubolini continues to push the boundaries of how we understand the interplay between individual behaviour and collective outcomes in animal societies.
