I am interested in the physiological
and morphological basis of behaviors critical to individual fitness,
especially prey capture and locomotion. Although I am broadly
interested in functional morphology and comparative physiology, my
research focuses on several specific aspects of these
disciplines:
Developmental Physiology: The
development of behaviors and their associated physiological
systems.
Environmental Functional Morphology:
The relationship between animal performance and survival in the
wild.
Biomechanics: The physical
constraints that intrinsic and extrinsic factors place on
behaviors.
