Distributions of African vertebrates. Has for >10 years been involved in externally funded research projects with mapping and analysis of large-scale biodiversity patterns in Africa (with Drs Neil Burgess, Jon Fjeldså, Carsten Rahbek and the late Jens B.

Externally funded. Teaching Has provided technical assistance and advice to several MSc and PhD students working with large databases of distributional data. Other students Has served as coordinator of activities in connection with long-term research enhancement programme for training in biodiversity research at University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda (funding from Danida, The Danish Foreign Ministry).

When there in Tanzania either I work with staff at UDSM or undertake fieldwork - self financed. Fieldwork is concentrated on the nice and cool mountain forest of the Eastern Arc. Various aspects of birds are my interest: altitudinal movements, seasonal changes in abundances etc, species composition, sexuall differences and identification using voices etc.
