Description of Research
Research interests include hormonal, genetic and nutritional aspects of development and behavior. Topics include: territoriality; parental care, lactation and perinatal nutrition; sexual differentiation, population regulation, and comparative approaches to behavior. (I also enjoy baseball statistics.)
