Tim Caro studies the evolutionary ecology of animal coloration, focusing particularly on mammals and decapods. He conducts fieldwork in Tanzania and the UK, specifically studying zebras, horses, and coconut crabs in the Zanzibar archipelago, as well as crabs and anemones in the UK. His work is highly collaborative, involving phylogenetic and macroevolutionary comparative studies, complemented by simple field experiments and state-of-the-art photographic techniques to test classic hypotheses regarding coloration in charismatic and conspicuous species. Caro is also interested in conservation strategies to sustain intact tropical ecosystems and collaborates with Tanzanian authorities on several conservation projects within this highly biodiverse country. He served as a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Davis from January 1, 1990, to October 30, 2018.
