Education

  • B.A. Degree (Rutgers University, 1966)
  • M.A. (University of South Florida, 1969)
  • Ph.D. in Zoology (Texas Tech University, 1974)

Research Interests

The major emphasis of much of my research has involved study on the convergence and divergence of subterranean mammals. However, I have broad interests in both invertebrates and vertebrates in terms of biogeography, ethology (behavior), and ecology
