Current Research
Some of my research has been ongoing for several years (turtles) and other is relatively new (mammals). Feel free to contact me regarding questions or collaborations.

Research in natural history is a fundamentally collaborative world. I engage regularly with collaborators and most of my research questions involve collaboration. Find below a list of my collaborators and what projects they are contributing to. |
