About
I am a biological anthropologist, tropical ecologist, and conservation biologist primarily interested in the ecology and conservation of vertebrates and tropical forests. I am also keenly interested in the analysis and display of quantitative information.

Research
The primary aims of our research group are to contribute to our understanding of the ecology, evolution, and conservation of tropical vertebrate populations and their habitats, and to apply this understanding to studies of human evolution. Our published work encompasses anthropology, ecology, botany, conservation biology, and animal behavior.
