Research Interests & Areas
I study the evolution of animal communication. My research focuses on bird vocalizations. General topics of interest include animal behavior, neuroscience, evolution, vocal communication, bioacoustics, tropical biology, ornithology, and computational ethology. My students and I work in the laboratory and the field, including expeditions to the Tropics.
