I am currently a postdoc working with Dr. John Terborgh in the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University. My primary research interest has been on experimentally testing ecological questions in Neotropical ecosystems and employing the results for conservation strategies. First, I am interested in understanding how natural and anthropogenic forest disturbances affect the population dynamics and species richness of animal and plant species. Second, I am working on plant-frugivore interactions and test a newly developed conceptual model including seed dispersal, predation and ecosystem engineering by white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari, a pig-like creature). We are always looking for motivated field assistants (however, currently we have no funding). If you would like to work on this project, please contact me at the email address above.
