RESEARCH INTEREST

My main interests are vertebrate behavior and sensory ecology with a focus on animal communication. The objective of my research program is to increase our understanding of how both proximate and ultimate factors, including adaptations facilitating the detection and assessment of biologically relevant sensory information, can shape the communication systems of animals.
