We are fascinated by animals, and their interactions with other organisms, and so we enjoy researching basic questions about their behavior, and how such behaviors structure animal communities. Yet at the same time we are challenged by what we consider the most important biological question of our time: how to best conserve biodiversity in the face of human disturbance and while understanding the real need for sustainable development. Hence we try to design interdisciplinary projects that include elements of behavioral ecology and conservation biology.
Some of our current interests and projects include:
Behavioral ecology:
Community ecology:
Urban ecology / Conservation:
Ecotoxicology:
