A few of Ken's many areas of interest are:

Avian Ecology
Cooperative Breeding
Island Biogeography
Tropical Forest Ecology

Ken Levenstein is conducting his research on cooperative breeding behavior, and is focusing specifically on the rare form of this behavior exhibited by the Galápagos Hawk (Buteo galapagoensis). The Galápagos Hawk is endemic to the Galápagos Islands, which lie in the Pacific Ocean, 600 miles west of Ecuador, South America. This species is currently listed as "Vulnerable to Extinction" in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Animals (IUCN 2007). Ken's advisor is Dr. Jim Bednarz.
