Fishes occur in virtually every aquatic environment and represent the
largest group of living vertebrates. Their diverse ecological adaptations
provide excellent model systems for experimental studies in behavioral ecology
and sensory biology.
Our research is focused on the behavioral ecology and sensory biology of
sharks, rays and coral reef fishes. We are interested in the ultimate and
proximate mechanisms of feeding, reproductive, orientation and social behaviors,
and how sensory systems contribute to their expression. Our approach involves
both experimental field work and laboratory studies.
