Timothy Hugh Clutton-Brock FRS (born 13 August 1946)[citation needed] is a British zoologist known for his comparative studies of the behavioural ecology of mammals,[1] particularly red deer and meerkats.[2][3]

Education

[edit | edit source]

Clutton-Bruck attended Rugby School.[4] In terms of his university education, Clutton-Brock was educated at the University of Cambridge, where he received a PhD in 1972.[3]

Career and research

[edit | edit source]

As of 2008, he is the Prince Philip Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology,[5] and head of the Large Animal Research Group at the Department of Zoology of the University of Cambridge,[2] and a fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge.[6] He also holds extraordinary professorships in the Department of Zoology and Entomology and the Mammal Research Institute of the University of Pretoria, South Africa.[7]

Clutton-Brock's early work was on social behaviour in primates.[8] Much of his recent work focuses on three long-term studies: of Red Deer on the Scottish island of Rùm, of Soay sheep on St Kilda, and of meerkats in the southern Kalahari.[5] He is one of the founders of the Kalahari Meerkat Project, the subjects of which are featured in the television programme Meerkat Manor.[9] [10]

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1987.[8] He is an ISI Highly Cited researcher.[11] He won the 1997 Frink Medal of the Zoological Society of London.

In 2012, he was awarded the Darwin Medal from the Royal Society for his work on the diversity of animal societies and demonstration of their effects on the evolution of reproductive strategies, and the operation of selection and the dynamics of populations.[12]
