I am interested in the amphibians and reptiles of Southeast Asia, with a special interest in those occurring in Indonesia; particularly on morphology, phylogenetic systematics, evolution, phylogeography, ecology, behavior, and conservation. My current research focused on the evolution and ecology of ranid frogs with gastromyzophorous tadpoles (the belly-suckers in the tadpoles help them to cling on to rocks in torrential streams).
