Raoul A Mulder is a Professor of Evolutionary Ecology and Higher Education at the University of Melbourne. His research focuses on animal behaviour, anthropogenic impacts, citizen science, and evidence-based teaching. Mulder investigates how anthropogenic factors influence animal behaviour, such as urban noise effects on bird communication and artificial light impacts on sleep. He also explores cooperative breeding systems in birds, including the role of helpers and the evolution of social behaviours. His work integrates citizen science and educational research to improve teaching practices and student engagement. Mulder's publications highlight the interplay between ecological and educational contexts, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based approaches in both research and teaching.
