Research Interests

Macroevolutionary patterns and processes in primate evolution, particularly the effects of climate and geography on taxonomic survivorship in primates; stable isotope methods in ecology and paleoecology, particularly within the context of studying environmental disturbance; primate conservation; taphonomy and sampling bias in the fossil record; computer-based paleodiversity models.
