研究兴趣： 

1. Megafauna ecological function. Large animals play important roles in ecosystem function. In tropical Asia, where megafauna are rapidly declining, we have very poor understanding of the consequences of their loss. At MEC we study elephant impacts on forest dynamics by means of herbivory (e.g., selectively damaging the saplings of their preferred food species) and seed dispersal (e.g., dispersing large-seeded plants over long distances). Much of this work takes place in Sundaic forests of Malaysia. 

2. Human-wildlife conflicts and coexistence. People and many animals compete ecologically. When we share the landscape with large and potentially dangerous animals such as elephants and large cats, human-wildlife conflicts occur in the form of animal attacks to people, damage on crops and livestock, and retaliatory measures by people. At MEC we study human-wildlife interactions and aim to promote human-wildlife coexistence by mitigating the costs of conflicts on both people and wildlife.
