I plan to get this website redone in the near future, after getting more publications done!

April. 2011

Invited speaker at "Internationale
Vogelspinnenbörse" of the
Vogelspinnen IG Stuttgart-
Ludwigsburg e.V. Germany. Talk
entitled "Insights on the evolution
of neotropical tarantulas using
genetics"

Dec. 2010

Co-author on the fabulous paper
on arthropods which provides a
wealth of evidence in favour of
a group of mandibulates, using
morphology, phylogenomics and
microRNAs to provide synthesis.

Broad Research Interest:
Understanding patterns of arthropod diversity
(esp. arachnids and insects) using novel approaches
for generating large-scale datasets, primarily ESTs
or mitogenomic approaches.
I focus on how genetic fragments can be used
most effectively to estimate taxonomic relationships.

I hope to respond promptly!
And then the ubiquitous link to pictures (but to be added soon - sorry):
Collecting Trips. Mexico 2010. Oaxaca and Veracruz. Searching for
elusive small brown genera of therahosids. Honduras 2011. Cusuco
National Park, initial survey of arachnids, especially tarantulas.
Made in England (me, not this US site).
