Overview

My research investigates organisms’ responses to environmental change through time, with recent focus on near time scales. I have conducted field work in Kenya, Tanzania, and Guinea, and I am currently collaborating on a chimpanzee project investigating the Buraiga chimpanzees of Kibale National Park, Uganda. My teaching efforts focus on human anatomy/neuroanatomy and human evolution.

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
