Welcome! I am a Biological Anthropologist and Evolutionary Ecologist interested in the relationships between sensory and foraging ecology and their roles in human and nonhuman primate evolution and adaptation. My philosophy is integrative, involving molecular ecology, field observations and isotopic analyses. Several of my current research interests include:
1) the sensory ecology of primate origins and adaptive radiation
2) inter- and intraspecific variation in primate color vision and links with behavioral ecology
3) the effects of seasonality on primate foraging ecology, nutrition, and ecological intelligence
