Dissertation Title:
Currently not available

Statement
Over the course of my work and studies as a biologist, I’ve been fortunate to do lots of travelling and exploring…all over the US and Canada, Hawai‘i, Mexico, Micronesia, and most recently, India. For my dissertation I will be examining plant distribution and phenology in an Amazonian savanna in order to understand spatial and temporal patterns in resource availability for game animals. This is part of a larger project ascertaining the effects of indigenous hunting in Guyana and northern Brazil.
