I'm an assistant professor of ornithology at Florida Gulf Coast University, focused on phylogenetics, macroevolution, and taxonomy, mostly of tropical species. I'm interested in anything living, but I try to have a working knowledge of odonates, plants, marine fish, butterflies, herps, and mammals wherever I live. I recently finished adding all of my old photos to iNaturalist, going back to 2003.

I am also very active on eBird, and most of my bird photos are uploaded there: https://ebird.org/profile/NTcyOTI/world

Soy profesor adjunto de ornitología en la Florida Gulf Coast University y me dedico a la filogenética, la macroevolución y la taxonomía, sobre todo de especies tropicales. Me interesan todos los animales y plantas, incluyendo odonatos, plantas, peces marinos, mariposas, anfibios, reptiles, y mamíferos, y trato de familiarizarme con la identificación de todas las especies donde vivo. Recién termine de agregar todos mis fotos antiguas a iNaturalist, desde el año 2003.

También soy muy activo en eBird, y la mayoría de las fotos de mis aves se cargan allí: https://ebird.org/profile/NTcyOTI/world
