Research Interests

My teaching and research interests are in animal behavior and behavioral ecology. Currently I am working on the social behavior of reef fishes. I am particularly interested in the relationship of food and feeding behavior to behavioral ecology and life history characteristics, coevolution of corals and reef fishes, orientation behavior of butterflyfishes, and the use of butterflyfishes as indicators of conditions on coral reefs. Current interests include management strategies for the conservation of coral reff ecosystems.
