Research interests

Richard Bodmer joined DICE in August 2000 as a Lecturer in Biodiversity Conservation. His doctoral research at Cambridge was on plant-animal interactions of Amazonian ungulates and his post doctoral research at the Museu Goeldi, Brazil was on sustainable resource use. In his position at the University of Florida, his research focused on the biology, conservation and sustainable use of Amazonian wildlife. He also undertook research in the rain forests of central Africa and Borneo. At DICE, his research interests have included the diversity of tropical mammals, the ecology of Amazonian mammals, sustainability of hunting in the tropics and community-based conservation.
