biography

My research focuses on the ecology and evolutionary biology of neotropical amphibians and reptiles with a focus on species from Central and South America. Explores the factors associated with faunal decline in northeastern Costa Rica, the effects of fragmentation on population genetic structure, and how animals survive in plantation systems.
