Biodiversity and Natural History of Marine Invertebrates

1-29-1 asymm larva clean copy.jpg

Work in my lab is focused on marine invertebrates. Much of our research involves the description of new species and exploring the relationships between associates and their hosts. In particular, we are interested in isopods, polychaetes and trematode parasites and their impacts on hosts.

​

My teaching includes Invertebrate Zoology, Marine Biology, and Parasitology - as well as a marine biology course in Belize

(see our blog and Instagram).
