WELCOME
I am an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Boston University.  I have expertise in primate behavioral ecology, population genetics, positional behavior, and evolutionary demography. At present, almost all of my research involves a wild population of lemurs (called Verreaux's sifaka), which resides at Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve, southwest Madagascar.
Verreaux's sifaka are group-living arboreal folivores.  These spectacular creatures retain numerous myological and osteological adaptations for leaping to and from vertical substrates. 

I am part of a larger research team that studies the Beza Mahafaly population from just about every angle.  Every year, we capture, measure, mark and release wild sifaka.  Our database is ever-growing and we have successfully captured and released over 650 sifaka.
