Specialties
Dr. Moore is interested in working with students in the general research areas of biodiversity, ecology and evolution. Several current projects address the community ecology of animals in freshwater environments that are found in plants of the tropical forest canopy (ie, in phytotelmata). In addition, he are interested in determining the population status of the rare Golden tree frog (Phyllodytes auratus), a Trinidad endemic species.
