Ecuador, 2008.
Research
My earliest research was on dragonflies (Odonata) in
Missouri, and this resulted in later research opportunities in Thailand (see
pubs.).
My masters at the University of Missouri
was chiefly a survey of the Mayflies, Stoneflies, and Caddisflies
(Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera) of Missouri State Parks (see
pubs.).
Presently my research is centered on beetles in rotting
wood (saproxylic Coleoptera). See below for publications on completed
projects.
