Curriculum Vitae

Research Interests

My primary research interests revolve around ecology and evolution as it applies to understanding the generation and maintenance of biodiversity. Much of my focus involves understanding the relationships, biography, ecology of understudied groups like snails, tardigrades, nematodes, flatworms, and more from the neglected majority of animals.

For the last two decades I’ve been studying the systematics, ecology, evolution, and conservation of freshwater, marine, and terrestrial snails, particularly those found across the Pacific. The primary thrust of these efforts is to change the trajectory of biodiversity declines through a more thorough understanding of biodiversity and the drivers of extinction, and by changing the focus from one that is primarily species driven to one focused on ecosystem functions and interactions.
