Current Research
Papilio demoleus
, also called the Chequered, Lime, or Citrus Swallowtail
is widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of southern Asia. It is
an extremely successful invader and in recent years has been recorded in the
Caribbean.
Cyllopoda: This
is the first part of a planned
revision of the tribe Cyllopodini. This study resolves some of the synonomy
that exists in the genus. A better understanding of the relationships within the
genus is achieved.
Previous
research:
- Survival, dispersal & home range of endangered Jamaican Iguanas (Cyclura collei ).
- Diet of the invasive small Asian Mongoose (Herpestes javanicus ) in a Jamaican dry limestone forest.
