Professor West is an evolutionary biologist whose main interest is the evolution of social behaviours, such as cooperation, altruism, spite, mutualism, parasite virulence and sex allocation. He uses a mixture of techniques including theory, experiment and across species comparative studies. His empirical work utilises a range of organisms, including bacteria, protozoa, insects, fish, birds and mammals
