Genetics: 
 Especially human genetics, genetic epidemiology application of genetic methodologies to conservation biology problems and in the management of rare and endangered species in zoos and in the wild. 

Natural History: 
 The breeding and social behavior of the South American Titi monkey (Callicebus moloch), the Owl monkey (Aotus trivirgatus), and Goeldi's marmoset (Callimico goeldii). Natural history, breeding and maturation of captive Louisiana milk snakes (Lampropeltis triangulum amaura). Natural history, genetics, and captive propagation of the bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergi) and spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata) as well as population and toxicology studies employing the snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina). 

Evolution: 
 I am keenly interested in evolutionary processes including speciation, sub-specific variability, isolating mechanisms, and the impact of human activities on natural habitats.
