7-6: MACROEVOLUTION OF BIRDS AND MAMMALS
7-3.10: BIODIVERSITY AND AREA DYNAMICS OF VERTEBRATES
7-3.12: ECOMORPHOLOGY OF FRUGIVOROUS BIRDS ALONG AN ELEVATIONAL GRADIENT IN THE TROPICAL ANDES

Fields of interest
I am interested in the processes underlying large-scale biogeographic and phylogenetic patterns and their relationships with the abiotic environment in time and space. I have worked on ecology, evolution and conservation of mammals, amphibians and birds, and am now focusing on macroevolution and biogeography of living and fossil birds and mammals.
