Ecomorphological diversity of feeding, flying, and killing behavior among recent and fossil birds of prey Wing diversity as related to foraging strategies among pelagic seabirds Form and function of the hindlimb of birds - the antitrochanter and automated balance system Ecomorphology of recent and fossil African antelopes as related to habitat preferences Ecomorphology of caracaras and the evolution of large scavenging birds

Most of my research concerns the functional morphology of birds and mammals and its relationship to ecological segregation among species. I am also interested in macroevolutionary questions such as how morphological and functional diversity compares among recent and fossil communities (e.g., vultures, raptors, antelopes).
