RESEARCH INTERESTS

Population and quantitative genetics.   I am interested the relationship between social systems and genetic structure, as well as phenotypic evolution models. 

Evolutionary demography.  Recently, I have become interested in using matrix population models for studying sifaka population dynamics and life history evolution.

Evolutionary morphology.  A lot of my research looks at how morphological elements are shaped by patterns of natural and sexual selection.

Locomotor behavior. I am interested in quantifying how wild primates move about their habitat.  Most of this work involves platyrrhines.

Sexual selection and reproductive strategies.  I am interested in the factors that contribute to differences in reproductive success as well as the evolutionary consequences of reproductive skew.

Here is a more complete research statement, and here is my C.V.
