We work on evolution and ecology, mostly with Anolis lizards but also with other amphibians and reptiles. Although we are herpetologically driven, we often elucidate general principles from our empirical work and from first principles. We spend a lot of time doing systematics, including phylogenetics and descriptions of new species, and we do a lot of comparative biology. Major work in progress includes comparison of nocturnal sleeping and diurnal active behavior, phylogenetics of Anolis, and descriptions of new species. See the Publications page for examples of my research.
We go in the field frequently, mainly to mainland Latin America but also in New Mexico and to the Caribbean, and we collaborate with several Latin American biologists. This field work forms the basis for much of our systematic, evolutionary, and population ecology research. See the Field Work page for recent trips. We especially like frogs, snakes, crocodylians, and Anolis.
