My research focuses on how and why ecology changes in mammals over time. 
Typical questions studied in my lab include:

• How does climate change effect ecology?
• Does ecology change during development?
• Does immigration/dispersal of new species affect ecology?
• Does extinction/extirpation of species affect ecology?

1. Ecological consequences of evolving morphology
2. Saber-tooth development and diet
3. Isotopes in C₃sub-dominated ecosystems
4. Migration and seasonal diets
5. Quaternary climate change and ecology

My lab at the NYSM is a standard geochemistry wet lab capable of preparing samples to obtain ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁸O, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, ¹⁴C values from vertebrate tissues like bone, collagen and enamel, or plants.

The lab also has equipment to obtain data for morphometric and bioinformatics studies.
