For over 30 years I have done intensive fieldwork in tropical habitats and made original discoveries on many species and the evolutionary and ecological processes that influence them. My projects typically include many local people, undergraduate and graduate students as research assistants and collaborators.

I maintain a broad interest in comparative biology, ecology, evolution, and conservation biology, but my background and training is particularly strong in the ecology and evolution of butterflies. My research consistently uses a vigorous field-based, organismal approach, and long-term studies are recurrent themes in my research program.
