Dr. Andrew Du is interested in how our understanding of ecological communities changes with temporal, spatial, and taxonomic scale. He studies the modern large mammal skeletal assemblage of Amboseli National Park, southern Kenya, which acts as a "scale-bridge" between living and fossil communities. He uses his knowledge of community scaling relationships to interpret the fossil large mammal communities in the Omo-Turkana Basin, southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya.
