Interests: Biotic interactions Carnivores Macroecology

I study how the number of potential prey species and available body size ranges influence the richness of carnivorous mammal species, and whether the predator-prey body size relationship relates to geographic and environmental co-occurrence. I am also highly interested in hypercarnivore trophic ecology, particularly big cats, and its relation to the environmental niche and social behavior of their prey.
