I study the ecology, evolution, and conservation of mammals and plant-animal interactions.  Most of my work is in tropical forests, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia.  Yet I also strive to explore as many parts of the world as I can; this helps place the findings of specific studies into a broader "biogeographic context". To this end I have explored six continents and done field work in ecosystems ranging from the Alaskan tundra to the rainforests of Borneo and the deserts of southern Africa.

I am interested in both basic ecological research and applied conservation, for example assessing how "bushmeat" hunting, climate change, logging, and other anthropogenic stressors affect wildlife populations, forest dynamics, and species interactions.
