- Specializes in nematode systematics across mammals, birds, and arthropods
- Research combines microscopy and molecular techniques
- NSF-funded projects supporting electron microscopy infrastructure
Research Focus: Wildlife parasitology with emphasis on taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics, and host-parasite dynamics. His lab investigates nematodes in diverse hosts including cockroaches, red deer, and endangered species like pampas deer, employing DNA barcoding and morphological analysis.
Recent Publications cover nematode diversity in invertebrates, lungworms in ruminants, and zoonotic parasites. Collaborative work with students has led to new species descriptions and insights into parasite biogeography.
