Research Interests:
I will be working with the family of anuran frogs, microhylids found in Papua New Guinea and its satellite islands. I'm interested in their evolution both molecular and morphological. They also have a large radiation and demonstrate ecomorphs that range from fossorial to arboreal. I want to look at morphological characteristics to determine any correlation between their evolution and habitat use.
