My research interests include taxonomy and evolution of subtropical and tropical marine and freshwater fishes. Special emphasis has centered recently on the use of behavior and karyology in fish systematics. My research activities are based wholly or in part on live specimens and catalogued materials in the permanent collection of fishes at the LSU Museum of Natural Science.
