Research Interests
My research interests are directed towards understanding species diversity and the maintenance of species, specifically with regard to the insects.
Here, at Clemson I am looking at leaf litter beetle distributions in the Southern Appalachians. I place an importance on a holistic approach to researching the maintenance of species. This is achieved by examining multiple aspects of a species biology, including their environment, genetics, geologic history, and behavior.
