My work in Corcovado began in 1991. It has focused on biodiversity and foraging behavior. Survey work has greatly and benefited from the help of Federico Bolaños at the University of Costa Rica. At present, I am assisting in attempts to augment the management practices at Sirena Station, the primary research site at Corcovado. I also hope to develop a graduate-student oriented summer field class that will be based at the station.
