Research Interests:
My research interests begin with the systematics of parasitic
Hymenoptera, in particular the Proctotrupoidea.
The current focus is an NSF-funded project entitled
Classification, phylogeny, and biology of the Scelionidae (Hymenoptera),
being conducted in collaboration with Dr. Luciana Musetti and Dr. Lubomír Masner
(Canadian National Collection of Insects). Additionally, we are working with
Tom Moritz and Donat Agosti (American Museum of Natural History), Bob Morris
(University of Massachusetts, Boston), and Klemens Boehm (University of Magdeburg, Germany)
on another NSF project entitled
Development of new digital library applications in the context of a basic ontology
for biosystematics information using the literature of entomology (ants).
