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

Clutton-Brock was educated at the University of Cambridge, where he received a PhD in 1972.[3]

Career and research

As of 2008, he is the Prince Philip Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology,[4] 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.[5] He also holds extraordinary professorships in the Department of Zoology and Entomology and the Mammal Research Institute of the University of Pretoria, South Africa.[6]

Clutton-Brock's early work was on social behaviour in primates.[7] 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.[4] He is one of the founders of the Kalahari Meerkat Project, the subjects of which are featured in the television programme Meerkat Manor.[8] [9]
