Biography/ Background

Research Associate, School of Earth & Environmental Sciences

Core staff member, Australian Centre for Evolutionary Biology and Biodiversity

Research Interests

Insect-plant and multitrophic interactions

Systematics and phylogenetic congruence between insect herbivores and the plant family Casuarinaceae
Systematics and biology of multitrophic systems (gall flies, entomophilic nematodes and the Myrtaceae)
Systematics and biology of Australian psyllids and lerp insects (Hemiptera: Psylloidea), including insect/host associations and biogeography
Gall induction by insects and biological diversity associated with gall systems (including multitrophic interactions between gall inducers, parasitoids and hyperparasitoids).
