PersonalBirth: 1951; Hoersching, Austria (U.S. citizen)

EducationYale University: Ph.D. Biology, 1986; M.S. Biology, 1981; B.S. Geology & Geophysics, 1974

Research Interests and HistoryMy research is focused on the evolution, ecology, and conservation of Southeast Asian birds. Previously, it emphasized the molecular systematics and historical ecology of well-known groups of birds, especially herons, swallows, and titmice. Before that I studied phylogenetic and genomic patterns using DNA hybridization.
