-There is no doubt in my mind that all life on Earth is incredible and worthy of our attention and our protection.  My research concentrates on parasites of sharks, skates and rays (i.e., elasmobranchs).  I study a single genus of tapeworm, <i>Acanthobothrium</i>, which includes ~165 described species. Since the erection of the genus by van Beneden in 1850, <i>Acanthobothrium</i> species have been described worldwide and it is now well established that the genus has a cosmopolitan distribution with the bulk of it’s diversity found equatorially, not surprisingly, where their shark and ray hosts exhibit their greatest diversity. Ongoing global collections and taxonomic efforts (i.e., describing and classifying species) have indicated that we have only just begun to appreciate the diversity of life that exists in this tapeworm genus.

-My goal is to become an expert in the biology of this group.  My dissertation includes the description of many species new to science, a re-treatment of a subset of previously described species with inadequate descriptions and an evolutionary hypothesis based on molecular DNA data. I plan to use my taxonomic expertise and evolutionary hypothesis to answer questions regarding character evolution (how has the morphology of this group changed through time), biogeography (how has the geographic location of this group changed through time) and co-evolution (how have <i>Acanthobothrium</i> species evolved with their hosts through time).
