¡Bienvenidos!
Two years ago, Martha and I returned to the northeast (New Hampshire) to work for The Nature Conservancy. Prior to that, I spent six years working with the CSU, Stanislaus Endangered Species Recovery Program and living in Fresno, CA (aka, the Garden Spot of California). Currently, I'm teaching at Franklin Pierce University (Rindge, NH).
Before moving to California, I spent seven years investigating macrophyte biodiversity in Bolivia's wetlands. During that period, my wife and I had the great good fortune to live in Bolivia, in the city of Cochabamba. In addition to the NEOAQUATICA database, I've placed a checklist of species associated specifically with Bolivian wetlands on the Bolivian Research Page. Also, a while back (February 2006) I posted an electronic copy of my dissertation online.
If anyone would like to see images of any of the species that are listed, send me a note, and I'll see if I have any slides that I could post. Additionally, some photos of fieldwork in Bolivia can be seen here. Although I'm really no longer working in the Tropics, I'm happy to communicate with anyone who is working in the New World Tropics, or is interested in this work. You can take a look at my list of publications, to see if there may be something of interest. -
