Welcome to the SLaBB

In a nutshell:
The Caribbean islands have a very complex geological history, which sets a remarkable stage to study biogeographic and evolutionary patterns in the animals and plants that inhabit this archipelago. Research in the SLaBB focuses on mammalian extinctions, phylogeography, and systematics, particularly using Caribbean bats as a model. Check out our science section to learn more about what we do.

Our research happens at Rutgers University – Newark!
