My research interest are evolution of mammals on islands. In that light, I intend to write new articles and edit existing articles dealing with this subject. I just submitted a Wikipedia article on Hoplitomeryx, the five-horned deer of the Pliocene of Southern Italy. Next pages will include Candiacervus, island deer in general, Cynotherium.

Another research interest is that of the life history of the Pliocene baboon-like monkey Paradolichopithecus. How did it live, what did it eat, what was its social life like, and other questions. The fossils of this monkey that are available to me come from Lesvos (Greece); cast to compare come from Roumania.

My free-time is devoted to the depiction of animals in Indian art. At present, my monograph on this subject is in review, so I'm a bit hesistating writing articles on this subject.
