BIO

I work with invertebrates, both living and subfossil. I'm interested in how humans drive change in island ecosystems and use the subfossil record to reconstruct past diversity, extinction, and biological invasions. Additionally, I study modern southeastern Australia invertebrate diversity and especially beetles (Coleoptera).
