Delano Lewis

Delano Lewis is an Associate Professor of Biology at Burman University, located in the Chan Shun Science Centre. He holds a PhD in Entomology from the University of Florida (2010), an MSc in Entomology from the same institution (2006), an MPhil in Zoology from the University of the West Indies (2002), and a BSc in Zoology from the University of the West Indies (1998). His research focuses on Conservation Biology, Systematic Entomology, and Lepidoptera diversity, with particular emphasis on moths, butterflies, spiders, ants, and their ecological interactions. Current projects include studies on insect and arachnid diversity, ecological relationships between birds and insects, and community-based conservation initiatives.

His work often integrates taxonomic revisions, phylogenetic analyses, and biodiversity assessments. Notable contributions include studies on Caribbean swallowtail butterflies, invasive species management, and predator-prey dynamics in Jamaican ecosystems. While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his collaborative work with institutions like the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity underscores his academic engagement. No student advisement or grant details are provided in the text.

Delano Lewis has been actively involved in conservation efforts, such as the Millbank Pterourus homerus project, and has explored the ecological impacts of invasive species like the small Indian mongoose. His research frequently addresses both theoretical and applied aspects of biodiversity preservation and systematics.
