EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY (2017)
Why is a barn owl red and a snowy owl white? And why do owlets negotiate on the next prey brought by their parents instead of fighting about it? These are just a few questions that concern evolutionary biology. With EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, Stéphanie Borcard and Nicolas Métraux portray the work of Alexandre Roulin, one of Switzerland’s top scientists whose research is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). It is one of six series of a long-running commission that the SNSF provides to photographers, in order to inform a wide audience about science using an emotional and artistic approach.
