RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Although broadly interested in biology of amphibians, much of my research centers on systematic studies of Neotropical amphibians and reptiles, principally frogs of the families, Centrolenidae, Dendrobatidae, Hemiphractidae, Hylidae, and Leptodactylidae. In addition I am working on the evolution of marsupial frogs and their allies with special emphasis on the diverse reproductive modes. I also study herpetofaunal assemblages in the neotropics. These endeavors commonly have been in collaboration with European and South American colleagues.
